Funny thing... here in MO, there has been a big backlash about property taxes being hiked up so high to keep up with or match the increase in value of the properties. So they held a special election and kicked out the county executive. People were also mad about a proposal for a county sales tax hike (around the same time) to pay for a new baseball stadium for the Royals and renovate the existing Chiefs stadium, which they voted down.

So after Jackson County Missouri voters said no to all that, there has been talk of Kansas wanting to build new stadiums for the sports teams, but the Kansas side of KC is far less populated than the MO side... so how are they going to raise the taxes to support that there?

These are both red states, and people don't much like paying taxes to begin with, but somehow they want the benefits. So now they are talking about ways to "increase the population density" in order to pay for all the stuff they want. And then there are those who worry that the crime rate will also increase with a higher population density. LOL

I have a feeling that many of the red states have a rude awakening coming after they begin to feel and see the effects of trump/co gutting and corrupting federal aid and such. Life is about to change, and I'm afraid it's not going to be for the better.
