Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"?
Yaky@slrpnk.net 1 week ago
A small town, or a suburb of a city that is described as “a great place to raise a family”. From what I have seen, that usually means one of two things:
-
The town/suburb is closer to the city, but is wealthy, real estate is expensive, usually very car-centric, which excludes anyone poor (or even middle class, sometimes).
-
The town/village is far away from the nearest city, not necessarily wealthy, but usually ran by a group of people that know each other (good old boys club), probably heavy on religion or other “traditional” values.

universal to all places that claim to be “a great place to raise a family” is that they are quite possibly the worst place to raise children, short of the middle of an active warzone or fuckass wyoming with 4 hours’ drive to the nearest human being
