I was actually asking Sonya since she was defending evil low-density hegemony but nice to know where you’re coming from too 🙂
Fwiw, I’m from a steel city. The US equilvalent would be Pittsburgh, except doing better with steel industry.
In a state with referendums and dense cities, describing most of the West Coast, the urbanites control the state! Yet they cannot even impose the slightest tyranny of medicine on the countryside. I must listen to the sound of tears as people die under the boot of faith!
