    I’d actually like more towns, further out (closer to me), with better connectivity between them.

    China’s highspeed rail for instance, is mostly to get rural workers to urban jobs … allowing them to adapt to employment surges.

        High speed rail is a method of internal migration, as is living at the factory. It’s so rural people can get around their Hukou designation, and make money they couldn’t in a small town.

            Fuck no, horrible systems. What the fuck makes you think approval of one bit of infrastructure is worth moving there for?

            None too bright of you.

        I don’t live close in to a capital city. Wanting more satellite towns means more housing options closer to me…

        …dumbass.

          Yeah, for sure. Build a lot of houses in small satellite towns near your town, just not in your town. You’ve got that nice small-town vibe and you wouldn’t want to ruin that by becoming like one of those “capital cities.” I can see clearly how you differ from the subject of the piece and why I’m a dumbass for conflating you.

            They can build here (plenty of farms around). Never said otherwise. I’ve already said I want them to build satalite towns closer to me. That’s the whole fucking comment chain.

            NOW STOP FUCKING BULLYING ME!
