Thanks for pointing that out, another_sigh. I just wish my comment hadn't been buried while being argued against. And my point had nothing to do with the merits of rural life, but pointing out the over simplification of proposing intentional integration as a way to beat human psychology game theory. Like we haven't tried intentional integration before.

Additionally, I had a an unpleasant and almost visceral reaction to the notion that anyone would hope for community diversity death. As though the world would be a better place if we all just had access to Uber and curated art museums and such.
