Getting rid of all those pesky hicks in flyover country would greatly simplify the ability of the intellectual elite to rule as they see fit.

In Arizona we are already hearing the Sun Corridor term used.

However, I’m not sure if I would put the Central Valley of CA in with the San Francisco folks...:)

Agenda 21, Urban Development, or whatever name you call it its all the same and this map shows its mentality.

This map from the Regional Plan Association, an urban research institute in New York, shows how the country is really organized

this map shows where the majority of the "stuff for free" people are located

The DNC has the same map with an overlay of voting patterns by precinct. The idea is to drive the affluent and independently minded GOP voters out of their suburban districts into the collectives of the cities, where they can be converted into dependent and reliable communist/democrats.

Well there used to be some cities with inexpensive electric trollies in 30s-40s but GM ended all that, when they gave those cities diesel buses, and all but one city in Ohio sold those trollies.

Those inexpensive infrastructures, today would be cost prohibitive to start from scratch to implement. Look up Dayton, Ohio and their history of electric trolly cars, they have kept theirs up, and they have what all of America could have had at one time.

Looks similar to the predicted fragmentation of the US by that Russian. I laughed at the time. Now I see it materializing.

I am suspicious that this is just a scheme aimed at getting the suburban and country folks in the ‘region’ but outside the major cities to subsidize the corruption in the cities.

Good map of areas to avoid.

Interesting that the island of Oahu has a circle denoting it is such a region. Makes sense, with 80% of the state's population crammed in there. Most of the other islands are disgusted with the Honolulu centric way the state is governed and want little to do with them.

I looked at the map with some interest -- the groupings are interesting and economically plausible, then I read the blurb.

Took about two sentences to understand it was an appeal for high-speed rail.

See ya'!

The AZ sun corridor is the part of AZ where people live. Not really sure that’s a demographic divide.

They are tied in with a group called “no labels” which is a mixture of people but heavy with Clinton ties.

Although they try to cloak it they are pushing toward a parliamentary role for Congress and a more autocratic Executive, in the name of “bi-partisanship” and “getting things done” of course.

interesting idea

[ROCKLOBSTER]

how the country is really organized — and it's not primarily around individual cities.

Looks to me like it is.

The country is divided as it has always been. Normal Americans vs city whack-jobs.
