When the smaller places dry up, hard times will begin to fall on the rural hub communities. When the rural hubs begin to dry up, urban areas will feel the pain- more than what already exists. We are either in this together, or we'll all suffer for it. The harsh realities may be that economic opportunities of times past have brought more folks into the state than the state can realistically support. If we are forced to go backwards, perhaps we'll have to start disinviting folks whom the state cannot economically afford to keep.
