it's a much hotter issue in a small town....in a larger city, they sorta fade into the seedier areas

Yes they are. I'm not a big wikipedia fan, but I'll post their page below. Ironically New Haven is within 15 or 20 miles of the Wisconsin Dells area, with several strip clubs, a large casino, and what I'd guess is the states largest tourist destination. Much better location, of course dramatically different property values.
