The real problems start when enough of them move in to be able to legislate
their attitudes into law.

Like people moving to the vicinity of airports then complaining
about the noise.

Ahem...120,000 is not now and never will be a "metro area".


Think again. In Iowa, and other Midwest and plains states, that is a
downright huge metro area. Such as are the wide open spaces in the US.

Ah, no. My town is 100,000 and no way, no how is this a metro area.

Move to the city - then there'll be plenty of nearby kids. That will
always be a problem in a rural area. If you live in high-density housing
in a large city, there will always be random outdoor activities for
groups of kids.

We live in a city of 65,000, in a metropolitan area of over 120,000.


Cute expression - 65,000 equals a city. That's a town, not much more than a
village.

120,000 a metropolitan area - that's just a big town.

What does it take to become a city in the US?

In New Hampshire, a town could apply for a city charter when its
poulation reached 25,000, and there were a couple or three cities
whose population was less, because they'd graduated in an earlier and
less restrictive time.

Dunno if that rule still pertains. Towns are now able to adopt a
council form of government, so there is less pressure for a large town
to become a city. (New Hampshire was once a bastion of Town Meeting
government, each citizen able to trek to the town hall or school
auditorium on the second Tuesday of March and state his opinion on the
great issues of the day. Tragically, the Good People are increasingly
ruling out that wonderful system.)
