^^^^^^ OK N.Y. (ie Steve welder!!!!) guy, the above constitutes my idea of a "chithole" and does not matter how big the salary is, but that is just me. Add in the usual big city crime, screwed up big city school systems, high prop tax,etc. and everyone that must buy a bigger house than the next guy.......

No, you clearly stated what constituted a "chithole".
There is crime and illegal drug use everywhere, add in teen pregnancies, alcoholism, addiction,abuse and rural America is not immune, in fact its just as much prevalent there as anywhere
Seeing that 6 people including 3 children just lost their lives to yet another maniac armed with two semi auto rifles and a handgun in Tenn. just this morning, I wouldn't be bitching about liberal Austin
