It-s no different than New York State really. My county has just under 50, 000 people and 2, 000 in my village. We thrived with factories in our golden days since we were on the Erie Canal but they-ve all closed down or moved. Now farming is the dominating profession and most people commute to larger cities like Albany. That harms our local economy and younger generations move for college and more opportunities. I did that, but am looking forward to a new job back north so I can get involved in protecting our historic buildings and landmarks.

I was born in that zone and lived my childhood in it. I had to move (for work obviously) and when you keep living in that zone, you struggle to pay everything even if everything is cheap because no work, no opportunities. So yes, for tourists or people from big cities it's nice to come or to buy a cheap house but if you actually live there, it can be so hard.

I also live in the -empty- area of France. It is magnificient! I want it to stay like this too. but sadly, I think people are realising the virtues of 'country' to 'city' or busy coast, alors- people are trickling back. No sm-rt city wanted here! Incredible quality of life here!

I think the trend will start to partially reverse as more tech jobs go remote. Smaller towns and cities with more open space, natural beauty and more importantly cheaper prices will attract younger people. Crammed cities are depressing.

8: 45 Nope, the French government never tried to fix the issue, in fact, they even worsened it through decades by centralizing everything in big cities, like reducing local taxes, making small villages struggles to get a good infrastructure.

To be fair, 90% of most countries are completely empty.
All of humanity that lives today wouldn't fill the Grand Canyon, and the entire world's population could all live in North America with room to spare.

Maybe that will become a chance in the near future. When a collapse will happen, we may be more resilient with less people per square kilometer. Easier to feed, easier to live together-

Weird thing, the only time I have ever heard anyone refer to France as l'Hexagone is when they are explaining why France is called l'Hexagone.

France: 60% of our population lives in 60% of the country! What's up with that population distribution?
Canada: Hold my beer.

One of the proposed solutions was to build factories in the diagonal. Really cheap cost and at the center of the Country.
