the hard way that it isn't always so. The more urban a city is, the more amenities available, more restaurants, more shopping, etc. Not everyone wants to drive to and from 50 to 100 miles a day. I found that a lot of younger families moved away mainly for the Schools available for their children vs. those in the city (I'm talking STL MO here). It was a shame for I felt that 'Hey, stay here, make a difference!'.
