I think in near future more and more people will flee to rural area because a quality of food drop and price constantly grow. Environment of big cites are dangerous for health. The life with constant fuss and being sitting hours a day in a car is meaningless. Although the theaters, museums, institutes, specific hospitals are all in the big cities and I don't believe the Internet could solve totaly the problem of absents but e speed trains, planes and highways.
One hundred years ago the rich Russians were living like this here - they had vast lands, plants, fabrics in rural areas and the mansions at capitals of different countries. Our vast lands need treatment and cultivation.
