This is about breaking out of the revolving door(so to speak) of outmigration by Those People from one trendy, overpriced, overpopulated place to another trendy, overpriced, overpopulated place, just to get away from it all. But then, they bring "it" with 'em. You know who you are. How about an alternative: Make your next move, and break the vicious circle. What other corny cliche' applies? Anyway, I am starting a movement---an advocacy promoting a trend of talented people moving to places that actually NEED repopulating with industrious, well-educated, and resourceful people. I've chosen What Cheer, Iowa as the first place for Those People to move to. I, will not be moving there. I'm not that industrious, and don't need to get away from Callyfornya or Noo Joisy or the hellhole known as Fla. I'm fine where I'm at, but really don't want more people moving here, either. Anyway, What Cheer, Ia had a population of 3,246 in 1900, but it has downsized to pop 646, now. Lots of empty buildings up there, needing rehabbed. The infrastructure of Iowa--the finest. So, you won't be placing a burden on it, as it happened here. They need more tax revenue to sustain it, and also--the people who can CREATE wealth, by producing added-value products. So, forget about starting up a financial services call center or a campus for a university or religious organization or a prison or a health-care facility or an insurance company or a Country Music theme park or artsy-farstsy antiques shops or biker rallies or a packing plant and that kind of crap. They don't need a parasitic, secondary, service economy--they already got it. They need something useful, that can be exported, besides raw agricultural commodities. For instance: Iowa used to be the Appliance manufacturing capital of the whole country--but not no more. See--greedy capitalists shrewdly moved production to non-union, low wage venues, just to increase profits and CEO compensation. See? What about the climate in Iowa? Well, as Sarah Palin might say: "Yah, sure--you betcha--Iowa's got a Climate! Plenty of climate. Okey, dokey." Hope that helps you some. Later.
