I don't think either of those is true. Nobody is promoting "company towns" and there isn't a big exodus from urban areas. Anyway, "company towns" were often small or medium, rural or semi-rural communities with one major employer who had something of a captive labour market and could dictate or influence whatever happened in that town. I don't see how that applies to anything discussed in this thread, so please elaborate.

I don't know what that means.
