Ah, see, the problem there I think would be that those rural areas are primarily white. Diverse and predominately non-White (definitely not the same thing, those two) rural areas do exist in the States. And, I'm just now thinking of the little orange-picking town my grandparents retired to, and... there's never hardly any violence or major crime there unless it directly involves out of towners, usually come in from a city.
And, weird as it is to admit, type, and post, I think I actually prefer honestly demonstrated racism, as opposed to a polite veneer. Just so I know I don't need to actually walk through that door, and can just turn myself around and be gone.
Really, I don't imagine either is all-the-way superior to the other. It comes down to a variety of issues and a case-by-case judgment, and past that, there's just some people for whom the idea of apartment complexes... or the notion of living surrounded by nothing but trees, dirt, concertina wire for a mile and a half... is a terminal detriment to living conditions.
It all ought to be better. (This is why they don't put me in charge of social planning. This, and the fact I'd refuse to let Starbucks and Coca Cola be on every alternate block in all of everywhere.) |
