Austin is apex of what I am talking about. Overrated white people food that you need to wait in line for hours for. Even the BBQ you can get just as good in Houston and stroll right up to counter
The strangest thing about this, to me, is the assumption that bigger city = better food. I mean sure there's more restaurants but unless you're eating at actual fine dining regularly (and nobody on reddit is), as long as there's some good places to eat, you're covered. And in any city of at least 100k people, there's gonna be some good places to eat.
I do sympathize to some extent with people whose only nearby restaurants are like Applebees and Ruby Tuesdays and shit like that because it really is terrible food. But most places will have at least some local joints with actual food.
Or with less then a few thousand. Really low population parts of the country always have like one good restaurant within 20 miles of most of the people because they make bank and can still be run fairly well by just a family. I live in a town with a population of 700 and our only real restaurant is one of the busiest businesses in the county.
But remember that the rural opioid epidemic is tragic. Where as the inner-city crack epidemic was just "those people being reckless and irresponsible."
The opioid epidemic started by rich pharmaceutical companies who lied about their painkillers being non-addictive? Oh right its neoliberal.

Give me a fricking break. The problems of black neighborhoods in the inner cities had been a huge issue for the whole country since 1965. It got constant attention from the media. Spike Lee got his peepee sucked by everyone in Hollywood. Where was the Spike Lee of rural Pennsylvania? Stuck in rural Pennsylvania because nobody gave a shit.
Modern agriculture is driven by math nerds in Omaha and Des Moines corporate offices as approved by the executive board. To claim that farmers in Nebraska diners are the ones pulling the strings shows a naive and/or antiquated understanding of economics
Their argument lacks sense. Industry drives the creation and sustenance of towns, not the other way around.
If agriculture doesn't need all those small towns, which seems to be increasingly evident, then most of those communities should just go extinct. Its not like ghost towns are a new thing...
These psychos really imagine an America where the only thing in between huge cities is farms owned by megacorps and staffed by nothing but robots and illegals and think it'd be a good thing.
Also I feel like if small town America actually did collapse and all of rural America did end migrating to the cities, these frickers would be whining endlessly about how their poor minorities got priced out by white gentrifiers and how their social services are pushed to the breaking point by white trash. The knock on effects to reservations would be hilarious too, wonder if they'll just demand that their precious indigenous Americans move to the cities too.
They'd bust out the old vertical farming meme if you brought that up. Its wild what they think """corporate agriculture""" is. Most family farms are registered as LLC's so that if the company goes bust the family doesn't loose their assets.

It is nice living somewhere with great food options but that's all Houston really has going for it besides low COL and high paying jobs
90% of America definition of good food is a hazy IPA and crappy fusion restaurant that can be found on every corner
