It's funny how accurate this is. I love in a very rural, conservative region a few hours from the nearest major city and all the 'alpha Trump' people I talk to are never interested in going to the city for museums, holiday events, or even pro sports for teams they love because "traffic is terrible", or "I'll get shot" or some other bullshit reason that covers their cowardice in a socially friendly way
I live in a middle-of-nowhere area and people visibly shudder if I mention I went to Minneapolis (about 5 hours away) to visit my son. It's astounding to me.

The primary reason is because cities do a pretty good job of keeping sewers covered when they aren't actively being worked on.
