If you’re from a rural area and now live in a major metro area, you have a mental disorder

But you're addressing people in this thread. "Y'all" just makes it sound like the bulk of the thread is pushing for this, which is false. Address the person who's making the argument.

Globalization, central planning and distribution fricked small town America.
I still love my small town hometown. But it’s tough to see what these 3 forces of evil have done to it.
I can say that small towns are still able to avoid the homeless. I don’t see encampments of them when I’m home visiting. To me - aside from gang violence - homelessness is the most dystopian of all the city grossness. Homeless ppl look like the walking dead to me. It makes me so sad and pissed off at the same time.
I live in Baton Rouge which is mid size city with mid size homeless problem. Panhandlers drive me nuts.
Bearcat is on to something. Would not trade being raised in a small town for anything. My law school roommate used to say that any kid raised without a yard will turn out weird. And not in a good way. They just will never understand what it’s like to grow up with your doctor’s kids and your mechanic’s kids.
It looks depressing and miserable to me to raise a baby in a large city. WTF a nine year old needs a bike, not an apartment.

Youre being disingenuous.

Um, I did. That was in direct response to Delta wanting government to intervene to protect his preferred industry, after I just made a similar response to Rog.

Do them a huge favor and let them grow up on land, with more freedom.

Missed in all this conversation is the fact that telework is as big as it has ever been and a major opportunity to have a good job and get back to basics.
If more of us professionals who have had to move from gods country to urban cesspools put our money where our mouth is, move back and reinvest in rural America, we can start to turn things around.

It’s true. These major cities are every problem that exists in this nation. People are not meant to live like that and their life revolves around money and how many things they own. They are a cancer on this nation!
Heaven forbid should we have an EMP or CME event of catastrophic proportion, being anywhere close to a large city is the last place you want to be.

quote:I could not disagree more. Almost all of the Oregon coast (with the possible exception of the very northern section - say, from Garibaldi on) is a hollowed out shadow of its old self. You can trace it to the mid-80s and when the spotted owl nonsense gutted the timber industry. Coos Bay used to be a gem. Now, it has the same small-town illnesses and dysfunctions that have been enumerated in this thread. In general, nearly the entire Oregon coast is a depressing shitshow of drugs and dysfunction.
The coastal towns here are amazing up and down the West Coast.
This is also true as you continue north into Washington. shite, Aberdeen was famous for being a depressing, methed-out shithole in the early 90s when Kurt Cobain left it.
I'm not sure where on the West Coast you are referring to but your idea of it sounds fantastical.

The Oregon and Washington coasts are awesome. They're just not "Yuppiefied" enough for y'alls liking yet.
I stay with friends occasionally in Lincoln City, its great.
Alaska, BC coast, Orcas Islands, Oregon Coast, NorCal coast are all great places to live.

Pretty much any rural area I've been to in the past 5-10 years is an area with the majority of the population on benefits (disability, food stamps, medicaid, section 8, etc.) with a ton of meth and fentanyl everywhere.
You've not been to or lived in very many rural areas, obviously. I call BS on your statement.

Without welfare, those people would have left decades ago.
That's more BS. Lived in Appalachia for 60 years and your statement is blatantly false. Yes, there is poverty here. I'm not denying that. And there is wealth here, too...just like Alaska.

Probably any urbanized area with over 25,000 residents.

He's making the assumption that rural areas and small towns are universally like they are in LA.
