I've been reading Dopesick, by Beth Macy, regarding the opoid epidemic in Appalachia, and it referenced a woman who visited her Doctor, who lives in a trailer home with 5 children and no running water, and we're talking about the mid-2000's. It's hard for me to believe that! And, they use an outhouse?

I'm sure the Deep South has some of those areas, but where else?

Old sugar farms in South Florida such as Bell Glades, pretty all of south east Fl outside the coastal cities. Really most of Florida outside the coast, military bases and 4-5 mid / larger cities.

People dont realize how poor most of Florida is until they move here, get off the interstates and travel the state roads.

Oh look, another bi-monthly thread about the po' folks in Appalachia.

Waiting for them to be called trailer park dwelling, meth using, toothless, sister ****ing, inbred dropouts.

Portland. Seattle. Detroit. Minneapolis. Kenosha. New York City. Flint. All lawless, violent crapholes overrun with crime, where the leadership supports vicious, violent criminals and abandons law abiding citizens. There is a reason these places are looking more and more like Mogadishu every day.

Oh, and OP, in those places people don't use outhouses. They just crap in the streets.

Yep, as stated above....look no further than your state of AZ. Take a short trip from Tucson up to the Four Corners area: Many Native Americans Can't Get Clean Water, Report Finds.

Is there anywhere in Los Angeles, Oakland and CA that you would personally NOT move your family into?

There certainly is in Texas I would not move mine.
