Honestly, I am not a big fan of urban sprawl, but neither do I support the liberal ways, extreme costs and high crime of the big cities today. I'd rather settle out on a farm, or in a smaller community.
The same trends are probably occuring all throughout the industrialized world.
Hope they don't get to far out into the country. They always leave the city because they don't like so much about it, then they come to the country and attempt to push their liberal city values on us.
