I don't have any interest in visiting rural areas in any state, let alone states in the south. What the heck is there to do except look at cotton fields?

The only cities that interest me to visit over and over are all highly liberal cities.

Also, I don't think Trumpites are traditional repubs....the hardcore trumpites are a bunch of anti-capitalist clowns who don't realize that free trade, free markets, and globalization are good for everyone

Which is why I just want to focus on my blue state and let them stew in their own results while they stay in their own red states. The west coast is doing well.

Oh god, I just read about the KS experiment. Yeah they asked for it. Now I bet they're asking for federal help to bail out their own stupid ideology.

I'm with you there. I miss California, wish I made enough money to move back. 2nd housing crash coming soon since Trump wants to roll back Dodd-Frank?

Never know though!

What's funny about the experiment in KS is that Brownback has been blaming Obama for the states problems.
Brownback won't be able to point to Obama for Kansas problems any longer | The Wichita Eagle

Thankfully, he is the least favorable governor in America.
Gov. Sam Brownback retains his title as

I grew up in KS and left when I finished college...never going back

No kidding. WV is top of the list in obesity, diabetes, heart disease and lowest in education, income, health and well being. A veritable s$ithole.

Then please be specific as to which regulation you think creates a rationed supply of land. There is usually some sort of explanation to explain why it was there in the first place.

Once you figure out that reason, evaluate it depending on what's more important to the public interest. Plenty of examples in my post #20 would (me personally), go for restricting supply in those ways.
