Good article! Why anyone wants to live live elbow-to-elbow in the red counties is beyond me.
Very interesting map.
Now we know how fucktard libfuk dumbshits (hello, Oreo) get elected.
People concentrate in cities because the is where they can make a living in today’s non agriculturally based economy.
Employment opportunities in rural areas are limited at best.
If the current trend towards information based work continues long enough we may see a change in that since the internet makes workers far less location based in where they do their work, but it will still be only a small shift and most will continue to live in concentrated areas.
That is why we are screwed. The people who live elbow to elbow in the most in unnatural setting controls those who wish to live in a natural peaceful setting with room to truly live.

This is an interesting website to explore: http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ Be sure to click through some of the links.

Humans really are a plague on this planet!
