North Dakota is the place to be. It is.
North Dakota reported the region’s highest rate of population growth with a 15.8% jump from 2010.
Remember when some non-Dakotan’s decided North Dakota’s future was nothing more than a Buffalo Commons?
The proposal originated with Frank J. Popper and Deborah Popper, who argued in a 1987 essay[2] that the current use of the drier parts of the plains is not sustainable. The authors viewed the historic European-American settlement of the Plains States as hampered by lack of understanding of the ecology and an example of the “Tragedy of the Commons“.[3] Many people in potentially affected states resisted the concept during the 1990s.[4]
Thankfully North Dakota brushed it off and just kept on doing what North Dakota does. We survive, sometimes we thrive.
