>If you live in the “hood”, it’s difficult to avoid some association with dirtbags and gang bangers. If you move to the “burb” these associations may continue. Then you have the dirtbags and gang bangers introduced into the “burb”. I’ve seen it happen. Nice people move in. But some of their visitors, not so much. <

Which is why living in a rural area is preferable to a lot of people. In many country areas, it doesn’t matter what your color, people tend to have similar values, and they get along way better than do those crammed together in big cities.

“Which is why living in a rural area is preferable to a lot of people.”

.....we got out of the suburbs/exburbs in 2005 and relocated to a rural county in N.C.....it is 97% anglo-european/judeo-christian and in many respects is like America used to be...we bought a hollow at the end of the road and have quiet and privacy....we were surprised when we learned we had neighbors from Mass, Wisc and Virginia...all of them had left urban/suburban areas and mentioned reasons like drugs,crime,gangs,taxes,failed schools ect.

.....I hope that anybody reading this will take heart...it’s not easy to relocate, but if you’ve always dreamed of living in a special place, start planning today...it took us almost 10 months to move plus another 10 to fix up our new place but we’re glad we did....I wouldn’t trade anything for the life we have now....good luck to everyone!
