One of the appeals to me was that it was still 'wild'. You could go hiking through the forest and still run into dangerous wildlife. Today, even the mountains are turning into suburbia.
The growth has been great for employment if you're in a career involving tech, among others. The liberalization of the state, just since I've been here, is difficult to ignore. The number of out of state plates, and the states represented, in the past several years have been a reminder of what's happening to this state.
It's sad to see what's happening to this country as large crowded cities dictate the political outcomes to people in large parts of the land mass that don't want anything to do with city living. The draw of those high density populations seems to appeal to leftist thinking and I admit that I don't understand the appeal. I do understand there are fewer places one can escape to get away from this.
Are there enough people in this country that its direction can be changed, or will it have to destroy itself first so that conservative minds, like our ancestors, can put it together again? These are issues that I wished would have to be answered sometime after I was worm food, but they seem to be arising within my generation.
