Also. McQuade pointed out thatWe should recognize that one factor contributing to our critical urban problem is the existence of a rural problem. Unless we can slow down the influx of rural poor into the cities. unless the migrants into the cities are equipped to hold jobs. and unless jobs are available in the cities. the future of Americas metropolitan areas looks dark indeed. I have continually stressed that the cure for riots. crime. and filth in Americas cities may lie in making rural areas livable and attractive enough to reverse the current population surge to congested urban centers. I believe that given the necessities of the good life. rural residents will not only remain where they are but will encourage hundreds of thousands of others to migrate to the countryside. such as the State of West Virginia. which has an increasingly fine appeal for those persons in congested areas.
