    We’re subsidizing your Internet, power, and most other infrastructure and public services that cost too much at rural densities.

      I wish we’d stop doing that at this point.

      1. I use starlink - I paid for the hardware on the ground, the rest of it is in space. There is no other internet out here.

      2. We have no public services, I have to drive to them or provide them myself. No water, no sewage.

      3. The power is generated 36km from my house and the cost of gold plating the grid to get that power is disproportionately reflected in MY power bill so that those in the city 200km away can have electricity.

      Can I ask what demographic you fit into that you seem to sincerely believe the world would keep functioning if everyone lived in cities, and that with your obviously limited exposure to how the world works, you believe you have it all figured out?
