All big cities attract lower income groups because of subsidized housing, jobs, and benefits. Hence, they also have the highest percentage of minorities AND liberals advocating on their behalf.

It will be like science fiction (eg, Asimov’s The Naked Sun) where the rural areas are slaves to the urban areas. Unless the rural areas manage to take control. Of course, in Asimov’s book it was remote planets where the farming occurs.

Actually, it kinda reminds me of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, where the Morlocks do all the work and the Eloi just sit back and take it easy. Unfortunately, in real life and unlike the book, today's Eloi prey on the Morlocks.

That was the reason why the cities outside of Seattle-Tacoma many years ago created a referendum to call themselves cascadia for they were sick and tired of being controlled by the commie pukes who control WAshington State from Seattle.
