It is close! Some posters are of the belief of if we don't somehow stop these freedom loving, car driving, suburbanites.... who knows what may happen. I think one poster is afraid he might starve to death in his apartment if every square foot now available to grow food doesn't remain farmland.

In reality it's fear! City dwellers know things have changed. City factory's are mostly gone... long gone. Few office worker need to commute now that we have that new InterWeb thingy. The Web even makes city shopping almost pointless. Many city's have entered into their "Detroit" period. And posters all know it.

So now.... they want to FORCE the suburbanites and country people to pay for their failed efforts to run the city's.
