The most of what is stated I feel does not represent rural as most of us know it to be. Sure there will be impacts on health issues as far as medical facilities etc. and that is a choice that rural families are willing to make. However it is not correct for us to state that there is more drug usage in urban areas versus rural areas as the link below from 2015 would relate and that is worse today then 4 years ago. When drugs became much cheaper they became much more widely utilized by youth and adults in rural areas where incomes are lower.

UC Berkeley has long been a cesspool of liberal teaching. My conservative wife got her masters degree there in the 90s but the university has sunk alot further since. In the 50s Berkeley was a great place to live with great duck hunting within 15 minutes and some of the best striper fishing in the US.
Too sad.

The decline of the family farm was the death knell of America. These days are the death throes of our beloved country.
Yet be of good cheer! The Tytler Cycle shows us that hard times breed good men, who produce good times. It will all come full circle eventually.

There is quite a difference between rural and city viewpoints on life. But I find that no matter where you go, there are good people and bad people in about equal proportions. Not everyone living in rural areas is entirely admirable, either. There's plenty of low-life, mooching, dishonest flea bags out here in the sticks, too. But for the most part, I would much rather live among the rural Americans than with the city slickers. I like to live out in the country, clinging to guns and religion along with a bunch of my fellow ignorant hill-jacks.
What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? None shall take thee From the Strength of Israel's hands.

Isn't it rural Americans who produce most of the food in the store? If we all moved to the city who would produce our food as well as other products? mt We’ll just order it efficiently on our iPhones. lol

The change in rural America over the last two generations is far greater than the changes in urban life and the exodus from rural to urban continues at a rapid pace yearly. Rural areas have always been areas of basic or commodity use and production which is the lower end of the food chain if your will and thus the value added comes from removing those basic assets and creating more value added in other places. Also we have modernized, logging, farm production, mining etc. to the point where far, far less labor is needed to produce those goods and thus the need for people to exit the rural areas to find employment. We see now that significant resources from urban centers (money) are now being invested in rural areas, as rural communities don't have that kind of money and thus fewer people are needed and more control comes from non rural controllers. Governments have and do influence that as well. Federal programs probably have impacted rural areas more than urban areas even though urban areas get far more dollars as that shows the resource difference between the two. Major industries like pork, eggs, poultry, mining, logging, veal, oil, are under the ownership mostly of those who don't even live anywhere near rural America. Also true of major acreages of land. Dairy is quickly heading down the road of outside ownership. Beef will probably be the last hold out from the production aspect but also processing is going to others rapidly. Now with broad ban, internet, cell phones etc. rural residents can interact socially as do suburban and urban residents and thus we now have the urban exodus to the rural areas of people who want more solitude and have know idea or feeling of how these areas developed. Thirty years ago I taught up to 90 students that milked a total of about 10,000 cows and with families that was about 400-500 total people. Today we have 3 farms that hire 80 employees that milk 13,000 cows within 6 miles of my home. Most of these employees do not live in and or around these farms.

rural america isnt littered with dirty drug needles and human feces. I think living in a city makes people crazy. I loathe big cities and avoid them like the plague ridden cesspools they are. X2
