"But also that so much drama exists in such small community." As a lover of small communities ... this part is bad. In a vacuum, every bit of news is inflated. So the smallest thing becomes something to talk about. I find European small communities are the right size - but also the right distance i.e. there are others close by, and usually a city not too far off. In Midwest North America and Australia it's really very isolated.
