I can’t help thinking, this might be a nice place to live, if you could live there. It certainly is flat! It must have been nice, once. I’ve seen videos of spectacular real estate, in the midwest states, that is selling for a song compared with similar properties back east. Is the the whole region dying, or is it just a few isolated parts? I know what it is like. I live in New England which, due to water power, was once the powerhouse of the world, our manufacturing unsurpassed in scale and quality. Employment was almost 100%, and though work was long and dangerous, for most workers it was not too hard (mostly tending textile machines). They didn’t make much money, but it was better, in most workers’ minds, than the farm. Many New Englanders became rich, and then water power succumbed to steam, and then electric motors, etc. Labor was cheaper elsewhere. My area has declined, relative to what it once was, very much like these towns have. My area is still rich, in beauty and culture, and to some degree, it has recovered economically. We have found other industries. But the glory days are long gone…
