It cannot be done without turning around liberal mega-cities and the states they control.
Very literally, if you get more than say, 100,000 people all in one place on the land, the land itself can no longer support the weight. The surrounding farms cannot deliver enough. Water becomes a problem. Sewage becomes a problem. Refuse becomes a problem. The more problems, the more solutions. The more solutions, the more problems. And then suddenly, science.
It's not supposed to be that way.
