—“Hi Curt, You’ve discussed the myriad of problems with big cities (dysgenic, parasitic, immoral). And I agree. So I’m wondering why, as a Genghis Khan conservative, do I feel so drawn to large cities? Just about everyone supporting P wants to live in the suburbs or a rural area, have a family. And here I am just wanting to meet people and have fun. I want a family, but later. Is there something wrong with me? Rural areas seem depressing, while big cities seem exhilarating. It’s hard to reconcile the two because I can calculate how unsustainable big city leftist politics are, and how destructive it is to our civilization, but I can’t stand living anywhere else.”—

I agree with you. I prefer living in cities because I have high openness and want it satisfied. Cities are interesting.

If cities were run by conservatives, then conservatives would want to live there. They aren’t. There is no reason cities cannot be run conservatively. They were. Change policies so good people can live in cities and they will.

The problem is if you want a good quality of life AND children you can’t compete with people who don’t.

Cities drive out people who want quality of life AND children and retain people without children who have money, and people with children who are poor.

The cost of clothing and feeding kids is (like all livestock) cheap. The cost of the home you do it in, varies a great deal.

That’s why I want to change incentives.
