Sometimes I wish I could understand why people want this. I grew up in the middle of nowhere and it's taught me that some REALLY fucked up things can be visited upon you by the 2 or 3 neighbors you have living 20 miles away and not even guns can save you.
I feel like there's a story here
it's the same story as it is every where capitalism is in charge: rich people want to get richer by taking land that isn't theirs; they get the local gov't to cut off water and salt the land to make people leave; then people leave.
