An easier way to put this is that people vote with their feet. Mr. Waddell needs to recognize that people are always looking for greener pastures. When an urban environment become untenuous, people move elsewhere. The question he needs to ask is why urban environments become unattractive for its inhabitants. Some cities grow, some die. Keeping them alive on life support is not sustainable. Some are able to ressurect, some blow away with the dust. The American landscape is littered with ghost towns.
