Yeah, rural areas tend to be a lot more chill and peaceful, cityfags will say that "oh you got lower income than us", well yeah, but property and the cost of living is insanely cheap. Also people in more rural areas tend to just be more kind to their neighbors and the like, partly due to how stressful and depressing city life seems to be. hell even the blacks in my area are normally chill (relative to cities). when people go on about how awful america is, its almost always about them living in a major city, which regardless if its the USA or "muh democratic socialist" Europe, the cities are always shit.
From my experience, Rural areas are loaded with economic desperation, theft, and meth/heroin use. it's not just some fantasy land where people drive tractors around all day, people need a job and many rural areas have been de-industrialized and de-populated, the remaining population is mostly 60+. a person I know had his ATVs stolen by his grandson for meth money in the rural area that I live, and now the grandfather promised to kill his own grandson with a shotgun if he sees him again. Farming on a smaller scale is mostly unrealistic, and many smaller farmers I know had to sell their farms because large corporations keep prices so low they can't sell their products at a profit.
