Research has shown that, while people in their 20s often leave rural communities, a higher percentage of young adults in their 30s choose rural communities, Schmitt-Wilson said. Still, most of the research on migration of young adults to rural communities focuses on "returners," or those choosing to move home to the community they were raised in, she added.

[...] The researchers found that while study participants were candid about challenges associated with life in rural areas of Montana—such as a lack of amenities and geographic and social isolation—they also highlighted a number of benefits.

"Those benefits included the quality of life they experience in their rural communities, including family-centered environments, low cost of living, unconditional support provided by community members, intergenerational friendships, increased sociability and unique opportunities for personal and professional growth available for young adults in rural communities," Schmitt-Wilson said.

If urban centers are in lockdown and their amenities are gone, would young people still choose city life or would places like rural Montana do?

    Thing is, the invented "problems such as Global Warming" are just the "persuade lots of people that it's fair" step of the "loot the public treasury, divert most of the nations' wealth to them, rig the game to keep it that way, and persuade lots of people that it's fair". If your brain is too stuck to the party line to notice it still, you are part of the problem. It is you, not R, who are gone mad.

    I think both parties have gone mad. One is further along than the other, but which it is depends 100% on who you ask.

    Congratulations on proving his point and demonstrating the obstructionist tendency.

    Now tell us the one about how tragic it would be if we make sure people working full time can afford food, clothing, shelter and health care the job givers might have to hold off buying a new winter yacht.

      Is it still not strong enough to openly call your opponent a fascist for the high crime of badmouthing your Infallible Leaders, or had you simply forgotten the word in your outrage?
      If only we had a way to burn the straw the Dems use making their strawmen. The world would never need any other energy source.
