Excellent points about retirement, jobs and "podunk" towns. I do not see much difference between these ideas and the dreams of moving to the suburbs in the 50s and 60s. People commuted for an hour or more by car or train to their city jobs but preferred to live in the quietness of the suburbs. This is not a new idea.No, but retired people and people who can afford it are. People who are risking being able to make a living where you have to drive 50+ miles to any decent paying job are, even young people wanting to start a family who don’t want to raise their kids in a metropolitan area are.
Point being, a lot of us like “podunkville” and all the things that go along with it. Maybe it is an unnecessary relic and maybe it doesn’t define America. But it is a piece of Americana, and it’s a lifestyle we don’t want messed with.
With that being said, I can tell you as a fact that I would not do well trying to live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, much less the New York Cities, LA’s, Bostons, etc of our country. Glad to be where I am. I’m more like Briar Gates than I am Truman.
Like you, I dislike living in cities. Young people like it because it's closer to entertainment, bars and other meeting places for meeting people along with public transportation either because they can't afford cars/city parking or DUI laws. Americans should be able to choose. The main thing that bothers me is the political conflict between city and suburb/rural where one side seeks to pass one-size-fits-all legislation.
Uneducated moron doesn't know that the act is already in existence and it's about hunter safety and not a mandatory course. Of course, in the small tiny low IQ minds of morons like arsecheese, it's teaching them how to shoot arrows.
