I like small town culture and society much more than urban anyway, so I'm good there. Unless you mean the Reddit definition of culture, to which I'll just say you can buy avocados, bread, coffee, a toaster, and a coffee pot at the nearest Walmart that can be found anywhere in the US.

For the record, when I said "culture, society, and your kids or grandkids," I meant overall quality of life and cost of living. If the trend continues, future generations will be squeezed out of even owning property outside of the cities. I'm not talking culture/society in the big city sense, I just mean basic American ideals like freedom and upward mobility. Those are being threatened.

Still there's a problem. I'd start with cutting off foreign purchase of land myself.

Absolutely fucking agreed.
