“Those areas won’t be rural or semi rural for long, or affordable for that matter”

So true. The place my niece is looking was a empty farm field 2 years ago and now it has 400-500 homes.

The realtor told her if they don’t make a move soon they will have to move even further out. The house they looked at 8 months ago went up $45k

Sure, there will be some rural areas left. Place with lake effect snow and wind chills, probably. But, the minute the lure of opportunity gets out the mob will follow. And with massive, unfettered immigration--chain migration gets them there quickly.

I told the story here recently of two immigrants at our Thanksgiving dinner. One a daughter of "immigrants" from Peurto Rico. Yes, I know it is a territory the United States but not a fully functioning part of the United States and never has been. Another a daughter of refugees from Papua New Guinea. Just two families, probably 200 people together at this point and grandkids keep popping out.

Now multiply by the millions. How many hundred thousand came in last month alone?
