| What someone in an 'urban area' might like to have... I'd like to have blackberry bushes and pear trees grown next to my apartment for me to pick and eat at my leisure fresh, vine-ripened, organic fruit when its ripe. I'd like to have a picturesque river to raft on in the summer only 20 minutes from my apartment, and an alpine ski slope less than an hour. I'd like to have a federal law requiring that the police, fire, and ambulance sirens not be allowed to blast within 5 miles of my apartment more than once a week and never at 1 a.m. I'd like all roads and cars designed so that the large volume of traffic that flows on them does not do anything to increase the ambient noise of my domicile more than 10 dB.
And if I can't have these things, and I have to pay for people in 'rural areas' to some of the things that I have here, then I want them to have ALL of the things that I have here.
