underground Atlanta....need I say more?that's a different issue
the south has had cities for as long as the north,,,,and liberal "city scum",,,
I find it humorous,,,
Correct at one time there was some truth into the comments but that time passed good while back most southern cities especially large ones are same. Country is country whether it be middle of Bama or Penn farm countryyeah,,,,
cause the south don't have them fancy northern cities,,,,,,,,
I hope not.
If they move away from the mega cities they might move out here to the swamp where I'm at.
I like it here in the swamp without all those people.
I hope they stay away.

No, because the city has other benefits, including from a healthcare related perspective. I've lived in big cities and see why people like living in big cities. It's not my personal preference but that doesn't mean it doesn't have advantages. It's like driving a sports car. It isn't my choice for a daily driver but I get why people do drive them.
It's funny...you talk to a lot of city people and they think the same way, "fun for a day or two but I like being able to have everything at my fingertips and close." I get it. I liked being able to walk to the grocery store and the coffee shop around the corner and the hardware store and the parks. At some point though I wanted a big yard and more room generally.I'd say it's a fair analogy. The sports car is fun to drive for a little while, but no way would it suffice for my everyday life. What am I going to tow with? What if there's snow? What if I slip off the road in the mud? What about hauling that firewood or fertilizer? Or a family of 5 and a wet dog?
Cities are fun for a day, two at the most - go to a ball game, maybe visit some attraction, but they are entirely insufficient for meeting my everyday needs. And when adversity comes, you are completely dependent on others to pull you out of the mess you're in.
Well in continuing with the analogy, my truck In the short term is dependent primarily on the gas station. If I run in a ditch, I can put it in 4W, low, diff lock if need be. If I have a flat, I’ve got a full size spare, and all of the tools needed to change it. And with advanced planning, I can haul quite a few gas cans in the bed if needed. Etc. etc, etc. The city resident, like the sports car can’t be independent for many necessities for more than a few days. I know many rural people who can go for weeks or months... some longer ... if you shut it all down tomorrow. That includes medical, security, food, everything.And honestly I don't know what you mean in terms of being dependent on others, most of us are dependent on others in one way or another, at least sometimes.

That’s not to say that all rural residents are prepared- they are not. But they have a much higher capacity to be so than someone living in a 900sq ft. apartment in the city. Or even the suburban homeowner on a 1/4 acre.
