CDZ How long will we pretend not to see the rural vs urban divide?

[Shelzin]

What do you mean? It's a long winded way to saying that all the states are the same.

Which is, on its face, absolutely ludicrous.

Well... That might be true... But it was coherent.

How long will we keep pretending that the rural vs urban divide isn't at the heart of our major controversies? Or rather the rural vs mega urban divide.
People in the nation's largest cities have different problems that we do in the country. They have different expectations from government are a differential willingness to trade liberty for security.
Crime, the concept of systemic racism, police/community relations, the transfer and spread of virures, dependence upon government for transportation, gun control need and attitudes. All of it is different in nowhere Tenn than it is in Chicago for example.
It may well be that what is best for NYC is bad for Watertown, NY. Or what's workable in Detroit isn't close to doable in the small towns to the north.
What's the answer?

Easy, take away the wedge issues. Let gun control and abortion be a county/parish issue.
