Out of curiosity, urban, suburban, or rural?

I grew up rural poor (like no indoor plumbing and no heating in the winter poor). My dad grew up the same. My mom grew up poor in the Caribbean and then in the projects of Newark. Of course there were assholes around but they weren't assholes because they were broke.

That was kind of my assumption from your comment. I also grew up rural poor, and felt that community bond. But also being a poor adult in the city I can tell you it is significantly different.
