[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is surprising and sad how many parts of our rich country are still poverty stricken. Those are the depressing parts. [/quote]

When the US median HHI is low well most towns aren't gonna be pretty.  Big cities and quaint charming towns aside, list of the country is poor and gross.  It's just reality it's not being a snob.  I don't actually think it's what the people there think however as it's probably all they know and it's home to them.  But if you've seen a different environment you have a different perspective.  It's what it is but honestly you gotta expect most of the country is run down.  But outside towns if you see rural areas for the nature there whether Nevada, New Mexico or W VA - all poor states, the natural beauty of these places is rich.  When you talk about the beauty of the country you talk about the natural beauty.  As far as people and towns go, there's no beauty in poverty and a lot of people these days are poor.  [b]Maybe not India poor but relatively below average.  Middle class is poor in a lot of cities, certainly around these parts. [/b] Sorry but I can't live in a beautiful charming home unless it's a log cabin with 2-3 kids on $100k a year.[/quote]

I had the same thought. The rural, empty towns looks depressing, but people aren't starving. And in cities, it's the reverse, lots of underbelly poverty. There will always be pockets of poverty but overall, America is still relatively fortuitous.[/quote]
