I'd like to think that any town that has a productive community that is concerned about their continued well being will do everything they can in their power to turn things around. Chances are for many the circumstances they face are insurmountable, even with dedicated and creative leaders trying to see things through.

I'd love to think that, as well. But if a town has been fading, the young and energetic ones are probably gone already, and the older people are tired and looking to the government for help.

Momentum is a hell of a thing to try and stop.
