Poorly? With already earned money?
Small towns are even worse to start out in because the job situation is terrible compared to cities. People in history have never had to "commute" longer than 30 minutes, unless they were traders literally moving goods from one place to another.
Small towns are dying unless more companies move to WFH.
Really? Everyone outside a major city is living poorly or with already earned money?
Seems like you need more life experience.
It depends on what you consider a city, but yes rural areas and small towns are shrinking in population. Only those who already have money can afford to live there because they don't need to earn money in the local economy.
It sounds like you need more life experience. The hollowing out of rural economies has been happening since the 1980s.

That's crazy. The only people who can afford to live in poor areas are those who already have money?
How are these areas poor if they're only inhabited by people with excess wealth?
Do you see how illogical your arguments are? This is why you don't have a point. Just stop and think for a minute. Stop trying to look good in front of other children and ask yourself, "does this make sense?"
