If there's enough people zooming through town on a regular basis they might pay police to catch speeders to pay to maintain it, but good luck otherwise. Hey I'm not saying its possible, I'm just pointing out how all the money seems to flood into the same kinds of institutions that result in a less well off small town.

what you don't realize is lovely roads is the first defense these bad towns have against jade helm troops trying to march in. you can't drive a convoy in if there are potholes big enough to swallow them

I'm just chilling here in my lakeside villa on Elysium. All play no work, hop in the healing machine every morning, pussy on tap. I think I'll go order an emperor-sized blunt and a blood orange soda from the replicator before I sit down and watch Netflix for a while during business hours brb.

Small town guy from Illinois checking in to say that (most) small towns own. I live close enough to bigger cities (meaning 12k+) to get all of the pros but live far enough away to avoid all the cons. I'll gladly sacrifice being able to get any kind of food delivered 24/7 to not have to pay out the rear end for a decent house and yard. Sure mowing a big as gently caress back yard sucks but it's better than staring at the back of a neighbor's apartment all day that I'm paying $2600/month for. Having been in many big cities I will admit though, being able to walk 20 feet in any direction and get ANYTHING I could possibly want (looking at you San Francisco) is pretty freaking cool...but paid parking can SUCK MY DICK. Being able to just park wherever you want to for free is a small town redneck part of me I'll just never be able to shake. Tyson Tomko fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Aug 14, 2015 |

I moved from a town of 3k to a town of 2k and believe it or not it was a huge upgrade just because of the nearby non-small as poo poo towns. The small town atmosphere is the best. I can cruise over to St Louis/Indy/Chicago/Nashville easily enough on a weekend if I want to do something wild but I'm perfectly fine chillin in my small town most other days. I can't wait to see what happens when teleporters are invented, that poo poo will be interesting. Also since someone mentioned H-bombs. One advantage of not living in an LA or a New York is knowing that the odds of you getting directly nuked are slim to none.

Grew up in a small town (<2k). School systems were great, crime rate was effectively nonexistent. Everybody knew everybody, left their poo poo unlocked. Everyone was also extremely xenophobic, racist, homophobic, and largely uneducated. The only people I grew up with who stayed there were the al bundy types - life accomplishments peaked in football (played exclusively against other small all-white towns, which is to say played very not well), now work manual labor jobs, drink budweiser, and talk about how Obama done gonna take away all their guns. Really the only thing I miss about it is that you could go to the bar (the only bar, there was one) on a Friday night and there'd still only be maybe 15-20 people there. I went back to house sit for my folks for a week and wanted to off myself due to the incredible, mind numbing boredom and the fact that every stained wife-beater wearing POS would take one look at me and give me a "y'ain't from around here, is ya?" look. So small towns - good for safe reputable school systems and separating self from brown people, bad for life, sanity.

I moved to a small texas town from east plano last year, plano was terrible in its own ways but there were drugs aplenty and there were so many people in the metroplex, you were nobody to loving everybody and it was nice to be confident that nobody knew your name or had ideas about who you are and what you do, and loving nobody cares about you. It ruled. In small towns everyone thinks they know you. You're either friends with people you hate or they hate the poo poo out of you for reasons that may never be disclosed. Basically small towns can suck my loving taint

What I learned about the Dallas burbs is that they're homogeneous and depressing on the surface but there's so many fuckin people that there's all the cool poo poo, you just have to know where to look (and have a car that will take you there).

I wish we could put one of those all year round cameras in a small town in like..Iowa, then Alabama, Idaho, New YOrk and just do a ten year long video of that poo poo, or have it take a photo at the same time every 6 months. It'd be interesting to see what happens to the towns as increase urbanization forces them into irrelevance.

Omi-Polari posted:"Not being nuked" is not at the top of my list when it comes to decisions about where I live but this is a fair point; unless you live near nuclear silos (North Dakota) or any significant military base. Agreed and agreed. I doubt any of us get nuked any time soon but if it does happen, even if we get dozens of them thrown at us I'm reasonably sure I'll be good for a while. Big cities and small ones have their pros/cons for sure, and in all seriousness it really depends on the person. I'm definitely a live in small town and visit a big city kind of a guy but different strokes for different folks.

Small towns really depress me. The life, the values, the culture - all of those are contrary to who I am regardless of the qualities of the actual people that live in those small towns. My grade school was K-8; I went there from 1st through 8th grade. It was a big brick 4 story building in this tiny, tiny, TINY town. From Wikipedia: "According to the 2010 census, (town name deleted) has a total area of 1.506 square miles (3.90 km2), of which 1.44 square miles (3.73 km2) (or 95.62%) is land and 0.066 square miles (0.17 km2) (or 4.38%) is water." During my time going to that school, the building became so expensive to run that they built a new building next to the school and had all classes K-8 in one big room with dividers - K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. It was horrific. I can't help but think how different my life would be if I would have been exposed to a greater diversity of people before I went to college (you know, other than white, poor, and xenophobic - I don't even want to use the word 'racist' because there weren't any minorities around for miles and miles - I can't think of too many people of my generation that exhibited actual racism or bigotry, but the parents sure would). I lived in the middle of nowhere, several miles from that town where I went to grade school. My high school had 500 students combined for all four classes (freshman through senior), and those students came from 6 or 7 towns. In my first two years of high school, I was always made to feel inferior because of where I went to grade school. And then I went to college - nobody there ever made fun of me for being a rube, but they didn't need to. I felt incredibly out of place until I acclimatized to the multicultural environment. After college, there was no way in hell I was going to go back to that small town life. I don't even really have anything bad to say about the people I went to high school with, because by the time I graduated I had plenty of friends. But I've not gone to a single reunion - and this last year was the 25th class reunion for the class of '89. I just can't bring myself to go, even though people would want to see me there. God drat I hate small town life.

Good. People in urban areas vote liberal because of exposure to new ideas and cultures. Small towns are the breeding ground of paranoia, xenophobia, and racism. Death to rural America.
