Date: September 21st, 2017 5:54 PM Author: lavender library seems like many are at a tipping point, where they have a very large aging boomer population, with few people to replace them and nobody moving in. will there just be ghost towns spread across the rust belt, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3739199&forum_id=2#34262889) |
Date: September 21st, 2017 5:58 PM Author: aggressive chartreuse theater stage love of her life "collapse" isn't really the right concept. they tend to die quietly. properties and stuff gradually gets abandoned. there is no dramatic implosion; there is just a gradual decline and dropping-off. certain roads that don't have enough residents anymore are turned to gravel to save maintenance costs, that sort of thing. certain power lines might not ever get repaired if a storm brings them down. there's just no demand.

Many of these areas will be an hour or more from an ER. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3739199&forum_id=2#34263209) |

Date: September 21st, 2017 7:13 PM Author: Azure casino knife cities are already too big and promote atomized, hedonistic lifestyles that create population crashes. add in the fact that a violent underclass makes them unappealing to all but the top decile of earners and the obstacles to neo-urbanism are tall, perhaps insurmountable.

Date: September 21st, 2017 6:57 PM Author: flickering anal nowag Lol this is ridiculous. Medical expenses are kept artificially high by government subsidization of research and our egalitarian views toward treatment. "Oh look! A pill that raises treatment effectiveness from 84% to 87% for some patients! And it only costs 73x the price of the old pill from 1958! Time to adopt a new gold-standard for use in every hospital in America!"
Quit developing that horseshit. |

Date: September 22nd, 2017 2:23 PM Author: costumed marvelous den Some rural towns will be saved by the self driving car when it occurs. But probably only those within a 90 mile drives of a tertiary city. But most will slowly fade away, while nature reclaims the buildings. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
I'm from a small town so I find it sad. But GC waits for no man. |

Date: September 22nd, 2017 2:28 PM Author: mildly autistic saffron mad-dog skullcap feces I find it sad too, though others don't seem to be concerned. There was a new article today about how hospital closings are killing rural areas
