Typical union argument--anyone who doesn't agree with you is not rational.

Troy isn't an agrarian village. It's a highly developed and successful city in metro with office towers up to 25 stories, a world class mall, expensive mansions with some of the richest people in country and yet they still have a voluntary fire department. Geez, it's completely irrational for something like that to exist...

So, voluntary fire departments work in agrarian villages on one end of the spectrum. Voluntary fire departments work in highly developed and successful cities on the other end of the spectrum. Yet, it couldn't possibly work in a city the exists somewhere in between like Detroit.
