[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US needs to simply spread out more.  We have a HUGE country full of livable land, but we keep concentrating more and more people and jobs in the same locations.

I get it - who wants to move to *gasp* the mid-west, because there is nothing to do!  It's a chicken/egg problem.  People don't move to open areas of the country because there is nothing there so companies don't move there because talent is too hard to attract. But if companies don't move there, nothing gets developed that'd entice people to move.

Maybe there should be plans in place for a Marshall Plan for our own country.  Develop huge swaths of the mid-West and South to attract more investment and development.  Spread the wealth and population out more evenly throughout the country.  [/quote]

Given the pushback from feds who refuse to leave the DC bubble....[/quote]

It’s about jobs. Especially two income families. Sure I’ll move to Nebraska if you guarantee my job for life and pay enough that I can buy a house and fund college and retirement and not have my wife work she won’t find a job.

People learned he lesson of factory towns — how precarious they are now when there is no job stability. A city has a diversity of jobs as a built in insurance. [/quote]
Factory towns? Nebraska? Is this for real?[/quote]
