I love this LR. You know I’m a City person, I get scared in the suburbs let alone going to rural areas. But you know what, to each his own. It’s the beauty of having the choice of where you want to live (at least for those who are fortunate enough).
Being a real estate guy location and demographics are exciting to me. At least in certain areas, such as South of you in DFW where my in-laws live, areas that were rural 30 - 40 years ago are now cities with 100K+ people. As growth continues what defines rural keeps getting pushed further and further out. Do you see any of that where you are?

Which is worse?
This:
Or, this:
Seems to me, that lots of people living in trailers is preferable to a severe housing shortage and people living on the streets.
For the most part, federal tax dollars won't be going to rebuild trailer homes in any case. They will be replaced outright if badly damaged and if the owner didn't have flood insurance, it should be on them to pay for the replacement, not taxpayers. As for U-Hauls, they're all in California being packed by people leaving that state, so there aren't any to spare for use in Florida...My solution isn't Federal tax dollars to rebuild trailer homes in a swamp, it's U-Hauls. Thoughts?

Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

No doubt. No matter what the topic is they always invoke Trump! or MAGA as their go-to default argument.
Anybody with half a brain knows I'm no fan of Trump. In fact I'm a liberal.

There is definitely urban sprawl taking place around our cities. In Oklahoma there are three main cities: OKC, Tulsa and Lawton (where I lived as a kid and near Fort Sill where I was born). Places near those cities are like you described in the DFW area. What used to be rural/forest areas are now residential areas. Fortunately for me I am surrounded by too much state and Federal land for that to happen here any time soon.
We are seeing an influx of people from Texas and California…I’d guess at a rate of about 70/30. They are buying up land around here and driving up the price of real estate. Most that come here like the first two things I mentioned…low cost of living and minimal regulation (as far as building and improving one’s house and property), but some have come here to establish some tourism/vacation service. We are in the most beautiful part of the state and lots of people vacation here if they’re into camping, hiking, lakes or anything outdoors-y. So while we aren’t having to deal with urban sprawl, we do have a bit of an increase in population around here.
And you are so right…It’s the beauty of having the choice of where you want to live. Not wholly unique to the US but there’s not many places like our country in the world, right?

No link to your lies as usual. Of course, being an uneducated, low IQ dunce like yourself, you are too stupid to know that poverty depends on where you live geographically and that most of the poor in Red States live in Democrat controlled cities.
Because you're an uneducated clueless idiot, you voted for Biden. You owe ALL Americans an apology.
