We have many small towns out here and without some kind of highway traffic many towns less than 3000 seem to have a huge amount of trouble. If you don't have enough pops to keep a Redbox running that is probably a good indicator. Adam is right though, just because you don't want to work 16 hours a day seven days a week to run a dairy doesn't mean your lazy if you have the skills to do otherwise. Small towns = small opportunity for most youths.
