Transforming Experience
I once woke up and thought that I was dead, but then I realized that I was in NebraskaClint Eastwood
A Matter of PerspectiveDangerous Missouri Building – 87 years old
Vibrant Town Center of Haddington, Scotland – 570 years old
100 Years of Use, But 50 Years of Neglect
Our basic stock of commercial and industrial buildings create wealth in the form of tax transfers
on property and at the point of sale.
The highway still may wind through country towns, but these have been struck with "rural blight': shuttered Main Street businesses and crumbling buildings. Homemade cobbler or fresh peaches are nowhere to be found, though you might be able to pick up a bag of Oreos at a tiny gas pump/convenience store. The towns seem on the verge of disappearance. Few would regret leaving this landscape.
Ron “Doc” Postun
• The brick towns of the Great Plains are the agents of their own destruction
• The bricks were quick fired and lose their compression strength at the point of contract with the foundation
• The typical Great Plains town is now 120 years old• About 70% of CBD buildings are owned by
absentee landlords• About 20% are
abandoned• Marginal Restoration =
$275,000+ which is about $50 per sq. ft.
Restoration is still possible, but now almost totally relegated to the private market after withdrawal of block grants
• We expend, on the average, about 18 percent on our total tax take on infrastructure & repair
• Three general periods when our existing infrastructure was installed –– 1919 – 1929– 1947 – 1966– 1976 – 1984
• To replace our current infrastructure by 2040 for 454 million people will require at least 32 percent of our tax take
In Other Words
Agents of TransformationEmergent Globalization
Globalization Is An Emerging Globalization Is An Emerging Set of Goals, Policies, and Set of Goals, Policies, and Applications Designed To Applications Designed To Increase The Wealth Of Local, Increase The Wealth Of Local, Regional, And Sub-National Regional, And Sub-National AreasAreas
• Sovereignty, Globalization Outsourcing & Tax
– The “vanishing taxpayer” – harmonizing global taxes
– The terrible economic cost to the developing world compliments of the World Bank
– Cheap labor, cheaper goods and the race to the bottom are the flip side of globalization
– The bottom line is that wage earners, will be privatized to compete with the self-employed
• Please note that globalization may not increase your wealth, but like democracy itself – you can be assured that you will get what you deserve!
• The most noticeable immediate impact of globalization is The New Economy. This refers to the idea that the broad application of information technology throughout the globe has altered the rules previously thought to govern the business cycle, investment, knowledge transfer and economic development strategy

Rigging the Market
For our rural communities to stay with the curve in thenew economy, they must “rig” the market by:
•Jobs creation Connecting to the backbone Public/private partnerships
Creating Image
We must create a new image of ourselves – no more Dorothy & TOTO
Born of New Ideas
New Synergies and Models for the 21st Century Globalism
•Changing economic forces at the global level will create a new layer of stress on the fight for local resources•The pressure to replace infra-structure will reach a critical cycle from 2016 – 2030 as the 1955 interstate highway disintegrates•Declining infrastructure means less tax revenue•We all sit at the same trough when it comes to tax revenue
Metropolitan Forces Implosion and Expansion
• Def – One or more counties with an urban area of 50,000 population or more; or, a place that comprises a component economic area of 50,000 persons or more

Quick Facts• There are 3141 County census counting areas
• 2398 gained population, but the gain in 400 of these counties is marginal
• 1743 lost population
• About 600 counties lost less than 2% of their population
• About 400 counties lost 10% or more• 60% of the entire loss came from the Great
Plains/West States

Rural Counties of the U.S.
U.S. Rapid Growing Counties
• 20 counties increased population from 75 to 181 percent 1990 – 2000
• 8 are in Colorado; 2 in Nevada
• 4 are in Georgia; 1 in Virginia• 2 in Texas; 2 in Utah; 1 in
Idaho
Student Enrollment in Rural Counties
• The states with the highest percentages of rural schools with declining enrollments were Louisiana, Idaho, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
• The spiraling cost of health insurance is yet another factor in rural school closures One district planned on a 9% increase and was hit with a 26% increase
K-12 School Distribution
Nearly 60 percent of the nation's school districts are rural, but they teach only 20 percent of the total student population, according to the U.S. Department of Education

The Bottom LineForecast – If business as usual continues • 411 counties will
require consolidation • 339 counties will be in
severe stress• 86 counties will have
moderate stress• 1,469 counties will be
in fat city• 836 solid counties
metro
And What Are the Measures of Stress
• Median Age over 41 years• Median Age over 45 years• Ratio of 13 – 17 year olds to the # of
children aged 0 12 years• Raw birth rate approaching 1.8/1,000• Median family income more than -1.7 S
deviations from state mean• Population loss for 4 consecutive
decades• Population loss greater than 50 percent
1920 - 2000
Sounds Bad?The U.S. is actually in pretty good shape
41.1 percent less population
Europe is Rapidly Changing
EUROPE AS A WHOLE WILL PROBABLY LOSE ABOUT 20 MILLION PEOPLE OVER THE NEXT 40 YEARS
• Two counter forces combine to place stress on a global rural population– Population change
through growth which favors the metropolitan place
– Population change in demographics
In March, 2005 There Are 6.71 Billion People
It is a time for choices

Italy is in Free Fall
Population Loss in Italy Approx. 28% by 2040
.9809 fertility rate to reduce to .8997 by 2040
Similar Situations
• Spain Severe Decline• Albania Severe Decline• Czech Rep. Decline• Austria Decline• Poland Severe Decline• Greece Decline• Romania Significant Decline
Conclusions
• Boom and bust according to the standard scenario
• Will occur from about 2000 – 2050
• European economies will be even more dependent on guest workers
