RE: the small town post - do you think that \"buying them out\" is a good solution to the problem? Seems bad to me, e.g. someone who owns their house in BFE rural town is unlikely to want to become a renter in the city or a suburb and see their net take-home go down by a lot even if they get a relatively big payout for moving. And even if their house has no market value (because it's in BFE) it's still a house they can live in for whatever minimal property tax they pay for it.

Well, the military offer of “sign on with us and we’ll get you out of here to somewhere we’ll provide you with a bed” always resonated in farm country small towns for a reason
