The worst place to live in America?

Washington Post writer Chris Ingraham got into hot water when he wrote an article in 2015 concluding that Red Lake County in Northern Minnesota was "the absolute worst place to live in America." It drew a lot of hate mail from Minnesotans, but also an invitation to Ingraham to come see the place for himself. And as Steve Hartman learned, the reception that Ingraham received was nothing like he expected.

driving home from northern Minnesota I took a short cut through Red Lake County, it was around 2:00 in the morning and in my headlights I could barely make out a large animal loping on the shoulder of the county road, slowing down incase it darted out in front of me I came up along side of a timber wolf. I was amazed at the size of the animal since its head was window level. It ran along beside me for about 100 yards before it darted back into the brush, This was back in the 1980s and when I think about it I am still in awe and remember everything about that drive.

The American dream needs to be removed from the bubble. The American dream has become a very generalized commercial for getting in debt. I think Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs has the right idea.

The thing about a small town like that is that it is very unusual for someone with no connection to the town (so not a wife or husband of someone who grew up in it) to move to such a small place. These are the kinds of places that tend to bleed people to the bright lights of the bigger towns further away. But Ingraham picked a town that is not one of these decaying small towns (from what he has written), but one that is still pretty prosperous and proud of who they are. I suspect the biggest fear the townspeople all have is that at some point after a few years there, they'll pick up and move back to the big city.

In the industrial world (and post-industrial world) these are acquired increasingly in 'urban' nodes of the world economy. The segregation of Indians on poor lands far from urban opportunity therefore has penalized them. Moreover, this logic applies to white rural areas which are 'also' falling behind dramatically when compared to urban ones, and these white areas don't have to endure traditional American racism.
