From PA, I grew-up in ‘flyover country’. York is a tier-3 city, but the downtown is 10-12 miles away; it’s the residential sprawl that I hate, since I moved here, 29 yrs ago. My former nursery/garden center/landscape contracting business was on 20ac in the country. I miss it every day, since I retired and sold the property.
My family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889, before that in another county.
I was away for 25 years, back since 1995. Still traveled from here on business until 2010.
I traveled the West and Mid-West for 30 years. Know small town America. Love it.
Know urban America, would rather not think about living in a city.
Here are the enemies of rural America. Yes, they exist in the US too. Rural kulaks?

Could not happen here? Guess we will see. Right now, I doubt it. If the ComDems were to regain power, game is on.
