NYT: California's Far North Deplores 'Tyranny' of the Urban Majority

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I do believe rural residents should relocate to urban areas if they can (both for economic and environmental purposes)

Really? I find it very disturbing that large swathes of Western countries are turning into depopulated wastelands as population increasingly concentrates into a few gigantic metropolises. It doesn't strike me as a sustainable trend at all (think of skyrocketing housing prices, urban sprawl, etc.).

This is ideal. Rural land values will plunge, leaving more land for me.
