I lived in rural Iowa for 4 years and currently live in inner-city southside Chicago. The contrast could not be more dramatic. It's not "comic-book" to describe certain neighborhoods like this. However, Iowans (and other midwesterners) are extremely sheltered from the lethal combination of drugs, no family structure, poor schools, etc.
