Just think of the jobs which will be created when they build the infrastructure - sewers, water treatment plants, roads, etc. - and when they increase their local law enforcement. The local governments should get off their duffs and start to work on this, rather than wringing their hands.
Study the west and ghost towns (and I’ve lived in one) and you see there’s a reason why the counties and local governments wring their hands.
They already have.
ND hired another 100 sheriffs a while back to police the trucker driving hours....some are working 100 hours a week and pulling in 6 figures.
I guess all the former sheriffs got jobs as oil field workers.
