    I don’t see unoccupied buildings as a problem to fix. There’s not a necessity for every economy to “boom” - only an economy required to sustain the residents is needed.

    It sounds like you people suggesting these “improvements” don’t understand or appreciate the beauty of life close to nature in low-population rural areas. I don’t want more people to populate my area.

      That’s cool. A lot of people disagree with you, which is why it’s so cheap to live outside of major cities.

      High supply, low demand. I don’t think Rural America needs to become like Urban America or even Suburban. But to deny that it isn’t decrepit and desolate is just ignoring reality.

        That’s just your opinion. I love having my own house and land, with no dumbass people making noise and stench all around me. I would not trade it to live in any city in the world.

        What your perspective calls “decrepit and desolate” can also be seen as open and natural. Freedom in its purest sense.

          No, it’s not “just my own opinion.” I literally opened up with “a lot of people disagree with you, which is why it’s so cheap to live outside of major cities.”

          It’s just your own opinion. Lol. Try not to project onto me.

          These places can be open and natural while still being revitalized. That’s just how much land there is.
