OK now let me get this straight. I live in a large, nice, affordable home in a city with clean air, very little crime and abundant good paying jobs. I belong to a beautiful golf course (where I spend too much time) that winds through wooded hills and along a scenic river. I live 20 minutes from a two concert arenas and a theatre that feature world class entertainment on a regular basis. There are a multitude of restaurants in my city that offer any type of cuisine that one might desire. My wife and I are college educated and are fortunate enough to earn incomes that allow us to live an upper middle class lifestyle, even though neither of us come from families with alot of money.
The folks mentioned in this story likely live in small apartments in an overpriced smelly cesspool of humanity. The cost of living is twice what it is in my city, yet they have to walk blocks to find an open green space, all the while avoiding the crackheads, dog poop and human urine. The deal on a daily basis with a rude overbearing population who in most cases would rather spit on you than say a friedly word. The air smells almost as bad as many of the people on the street. And although the crime rate has gone down (thanks to a former Republican mayor they despise) it is off the charts compared with where I live.
And Im the dumb hick. Just keep on thinking that your world is superior to mine. We dont want you here anyway. Life is pretty good out here in flyover country but lets keep that little secret between us rednecks.

Sure... but can you buy Italian newspapers just around the corner from your house? ;o)
