| Feb 19 at 0:17 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | I've often wondered why people stay in very small towns, sometimes just an intersection of two mileroads in the country. I figure they must be trapped there by economic forces (can't sell their house or business). But I've seen a lot of abandoned houses and businesses too. | |

This is behind brain drain and urbanization, which can hardly be said to benefit smaller communities more. | |
