No, that's not what's worse yet. What's worse yet is that the suburbanites decide that we have to build a McDonald's, a Domino's, a Jiffy-Lube, a Blockbuster, and maybe a mall, because it's so inconvenient to drive into the 'burbs to get to those things. Then they think we should bring in more development so that taxes are lowered, so local government approves townhouse developments, which then require new schools, more police and fire protection, sewer and water lines, water treatment plants, medical care, and wider roads, all of which cost more money than the townhouse residents pay in taxes, so that everybody's taxes go up to pay for all the new development that was supposed to bring taxes down. By this time there are more suburbanites in the "country" than there are country people, so when the suburbanites start complaining to local government about all the icky noises and smells that come from farms, they have the political muscle to make farmers comply with new restrictions. Pretty soon the farmers sell out to developers who plan mixed-use developments with office and retail space as well as housing, and the cycle continues. . .
You said it, and you said it VERY WELL!
