Emigration and immigration changes things everywhere, always, no matter the biological species or the scale of their environment. Some people like change and some don't. However, from living off-grid amongst bigots, white supremacists, Christian Nationalist, redneck hippies and preppers on the border looking out for the last 6 years in a nature that is dying to keep city-life alive; the only solution to humanity not destroying itself is not city-gone-coutry folk vs country folk, it's fighting the cancer of Manifest Destiny in the marrow of The American Dream, our daily routines, fighting our individual need for abundance and whatever we may think is "the good life" ("live simply so others may simply live" is not the good life for 95% of the population of the US). I mean, we can't stop being human, but we can be kind, tolerant, and stop exponential population growth (stop the breeders!). Good on ya for caring with hope. May humanity figure it out before it's too late, 'cause otherwise Nature is going to kill most of us off (exponential growth is always followed by exponential death in our Nature), and the biggest rub of them all is our economy is based on growth, preferably exponential, so the idealists talk of "circular economy", which may be viable, but I don't corporations getting on board with that and definitely none of my billionaire clients. To be frank, my vote goes to Nature righting our wrongs, but we'll see.
