So I wonder if we will be seeing a lot of urbaners fleeing from big cities to town and country in the wake of Covid and the riots. The virus outside of a handful of heavy urban centers has largely been a dud. No less than 20 parishes (counties) in my state have had roughly the same number of covid deaths as they had in late March. Hard to believe for some but its true. The riots have seized mainly only cities well over 50,000 population.
I wonder if we could be seeing a revival in town and country like perhaps we have never seen in the United States. And this will presumably be salted by higher caliber people who can afford the relocation. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
Because there are a lot of urban folk who are just not going to keep putting up with the crap they've been going through in big cities over the last 5 months.
The older I get the happier I am living in a small town. No lockdowns, no riots, can see the stars at night. Tons of gorgeous countryside for cross country cycling literally only blocks from my house in all directions.
Don't get me wrong, I would definitely not want to live somewhere with no high-speed internet or too far from a bigger city but I have both of those.
