We are moving to less and less hospitable areas of the country to avoid the lumpenproles. I mean I personally moved to a place with horrible clay soil, hotter than Satans asshole weather, completely flat and featureless, requires planning to have normal supply of groceries. But I'm happy here because there are no deadbeats, zombies, and hipsterfags. I'd rather be free than have security theater and comfort.
Only thing that sucks for my kids is they will have a hard time socializing in that 10-16 period where you can't drive but really want to have frens.
Looks like everyone is sheltering their kids in anyhow so it's not like they could just go out to town and hang out around parks or whatever we did at that age.
Most everything for kids now is some kind of structured activity, few just let them learn to self organize.
