Reading this, I surrmise that Wyoming may suffer the same as NY-NYC//Albany, CALIF-LA/SAN FRAN/, OREGON-Portland, with all the other towns becoming “the great unashed deploranbles”.
That’s pretty much the rule throughout the West. Nevada is run by Las Vegas and Reno, Arizona by Phoenix and Tucson, and so forth.
The harsh climate keeps a lot of riff-raff lowlifes out of Wyoming.
