American cities have become hubs of impoverished masses seeking to be closer to government services. There was a period in history where that appeared to be sustainable through the revenues/taxes the cities collected because they were business hubs.

Today.... we are using the global business office/center... right now. And... we didn't have to drive, take a train, bus, or bicycle downtown to get an Internet connection. City's no longer serve the function or provide the value they once provided.

I am very sorry to expose this problem to anyone that didn't already know. I didn't think it was a secret. Our citys no longer work... they are dying.
