How do we solve that for them?
There are issues that can't be solved in every circumstance, I don't see non "obligatory" rural residents as an important issue, but just a judgmental distraction.

I believe things will work out as what we have today doesn't represent the future, things will continue to improve, and without pulling the rug out from under people.
