Hello,

	"Dying Rust-Belt cities"?  What dying Rust Belt cities (aside from 
a few like Detroit, which will probably have rebounded several years from 
now)?  The Rust Belt has definitely rebounded from a generation ago!

Regards,
David

Suburban sites or small towns (between crowded urban and distant rural) 
are an interesting possibility.  There will still be transportation 
issues, but the distances involved are generally shorter than rural 
patterns. The land parcels are bigger than urban allotments, and it is 
easier to have gardens, chickens, bees, worksheds (and tiny houses) that 
are very difficult in cities. Around dying Rust-Belt cities or shrinking 
Mid West towns, suburbs are hollowing out and there are bargains to be 
had. Again, primary issues with non-urban choices will be transportation 
and isolation, both of which are aided by cooperative living and shared 
resources.
