Heard about this the other day.
Well......bye!
This kind of stupidity is one reason I tried to move to a dying town many years ago. If only the job had worked out.
It was 120 miles from even major cities.
Close enough for ..... Supplies but a far enough distance that the idiots weren’t going to walk there.
“This kind of stupidity is one reason I tried to move to a dying town many years ago. If only the job had worked out.

In the midwest, south central and southwest, there are many hamlets 100-150 miles away from a major city.
They are not losing population, often they are stagnant re population or slowly growing.
Often, they share services/resources with similar small hamlets from churches, to medical care to a couple of good restaurants and vehicle repair/gas stations.
They have regular UPS and Amazon delivery for most things they need on a regular basis or special order. Costo often has same day or 2 day delivery on their stocked items.
California and Oregone have similar hamlets/small towns along both sides of the state lines.
There are semi serious discussions re those parts of California and Oregone joining with similar parts of Idaho joining and forming a new state.
Smart business people are looking at establishing Ghost restaurants, warehouses, medical services and ???? in these hamlets or in between.
People could retire or just move to these places or to work out of their homes or ghost offices in these hamlets.
Any school age kids can go online for their school. These nice hamlets can hire good retired cops or retired spec ops to help the local militia, aka gun owners. They can share these renta cops, like doctors, pastors based on need with similar hamlets.
