Surely this isn't true in small to medium sized towns? Perhaps in cities but you could probably say the same thing of anywhere in the world? The coffee shop/local bar where everyone knows each others name is a staple in American s

This is why I’m leaving the country. If I’m going to have to rent for the rest of my life I’ll give my money to a foreign landlord out of spite. The leaders and elders of this country have betrayed the youth and torn up the social contract.
