1 in 3 US counties are now dying

I grew up in a small town. My high school had 600 people when I was there. Now it has 300. There's just nothing motivating people to move to the area to counter all the kids moving to the city after graduating high school.

Thats a symptom of the problem and not the reason for it, the reason for the decline in numbers outside of cities is the low birth rates [in the US, Canada and Europe]. If it wasnt for immigration most western nations would have a plummeting population but instead we have positive growth. Russia is a example of what happens when you have no immigration and a low birth rate.

Luckily for the US though we have tens of millions of mexicans more than willing to hop the border and take over control in the coming decades, the end result will likely be a clone of mexico.

Suburban wastelands.

Shit you mean trucking in all supplies by 18-wheeler to the stores and commuting 45 miles to your desk job in an F-350 superduty isn't very efficient in a world where there is fierce competition for fossil fuels?

And shipping via the Mississippi river, or through Chicago via rail like we used to do, was actually the better way to do things?

Who could have ever guessed!

Suburban sprawl is just that. Sprawl, if it ever stops expanding it goes bankrupt. The house taxes don't actually pay for the roads, the schools, the trash pickup, etc.

Yep, we need to ban people moving.

It's best to let the poor continue concentrating in particular areas first. That'll make it much easier to keep them in place once we set up the ghettos.

The real world is no where near as simple as your thought processes are.
