I don’t see how America can spread out right now. Rural areas are drying up, or if they are close to a desirable area eaten up with “development.” Medical facilities are conglomerate. What is available in small towns is getting atrocious. No jobs for white guys in large areas of this country. So they leave.
Meanwhile the very rich can just go into an area an buy it and everything with it. Tim Blixeth, founder of the Yellowstone Club bought three motels in the canyon for “our people” meaning illegals for construction, to stay. By the way, many high flying metropoli are literally headed for the hills. And you can bet they have all the ammunition that they want, while they try to make it harder and harder for us to get.
But, given that these are the ones most responsible for selling us out, I don’t think they can escape the consequences, thinking “this evil will not come near us”. But it’s obvious that they are trying.

Make up your mind. Either 1) America’s rural areas are drying up or 2) We can’t spread out.

There was a major effort everybody has forgotten. It happened two or three years ago, and that’s Memory Hole territory. A major effort was made by planners to get control of ALL land for the cities nearest them. In the name of the new socialism, environmentalism, the idea was to protect empty lands by having city planners decide where EVERYBODY could move.

In other words, what I am advocating has already had a major movement to stop it.

Columbia, South Carolina, has a hugely growing population, but relatively little of it is from out of state. I have been out in the countryside many times with people who would show me where they lived, where there were two or three stores, where the former cornfields were that you see any time you get on a two-lane highway.

The problem is that people can’t count. They can’t see that America was not populated by immigrants because, not knowing what a geometric progression can do, they assume that all new population comes from outside. The last big immigration to America until the Irish Famine ended around 1700. But the Americans population doubled naturally every twenty-five years with families often having TEN surviving children. So if you had said to someone in 1789 that America was a land of immigrants, they would put you in a nice, safe place with their equivalent of rubber walls.

But people can’t COUNT. The population of East Tennessee is huge, but there are no big cities there. If one can COUNT, one will notice how this occurs. As you drive up highway 17 you see at least one house all the time. If you divide that 15000 square mile land mass into all those houses with families in each, you will find millions of people.

The country, by which I mean the square miles, of South Carolina, are EMPTY. Our total population has remained the same percentage of the total American population for decades. Each hundred thousand people who move into Columbia empties a number of square miles out there.

Back in the 1960s Lady Bird Johnson was assigned the job of “beautifying” the highways. The result is that you cannot tell the difference between a superhighway in North Dakota and one in Florida. They plant what seems like the same trees on both sides, spaced perfectly, so you can’t see the country. So nobody SEES the emptying of the countryside.

And, understandably, younger people assume it was ALWAYS that empty.

Without my exact kind of thinking you simply cannot see beyond these things.
