If you consider using an EBT card “buying” it...

Hop On !

[Rich21IE]

Thank you!

[Rich21IE]

Its not working; most of the conservative minded folks I know in Texas are moving as far as they can from the mega cities.

HMMMM

Compare / Contrast

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.

Looks like one of the unstated goals is the annexation of the Ontario peninsula....it is included in the “Great Lakes” as though already part of the US.

The cities would be devastated inside a week if the hicks went on strike.

Left and right meet.

I tell you that the great cities rest upon these broad and fertile prairies. Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.

Dang knarf. I think you broke the internet with that graphic.

It’s still loading..................

[cripplecreek]

I've got a smaller version handy.

[BfloGuy]

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'!

Woo hoo!! And the first 46% is in!! Thank you all very much!!

Two percent a day keeps the 404 away. 

[2111USMC]

That’s much better.

We’re on high-speed cable and knarf’s map was taking forever to load.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah it was taking a while for me too. Probably due to the site hosting the photo.

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

[Straight Vermonter]

...the suburbs, will be merged to “share” transportation, services, educational units, etc.; in other words they will pick up the tab for the cities.

They did this in Montreal. 27 independent municipalities on the island were forced to merge into the city of Montreal.

[cripplecreek]

Its a definite demographic divide here in Michigan since only the Detroit districts vote democrat and the rest of the state goes republican.

[Straight Vermonter]

Those of us who live along the border are tied economically to others across the border.

[KarlInOhio]

um why are 2 of the regions bleeding into Canada?

Because Detroit and Seattle weren't properly quarantined at the border.
