So they fled the swamp.
And now like a cancer, they want to do things in their adopted local town like “what people would like to see in terms of improvements in recycling? “.
High end cheese sold at whole foods for a small town in flyover country?

Getting to know the local levers of power. How very egalitarian of you.

Not sure if the author is being sarcastic with this article, or if its just too much time in DC has brought on cultural blindness.

Sadly the Norman Rockwell-esque, tree lined street rural communities are slowly but steadily losing their idyllicism. Opioids, crime, lack of economic opportunity and shifting demographics have turned many rural towns into rural slums. For every gentrified Accident, MD there are several towns top heavy on the old and devoid of the young, leaving a vacuum being filled by illegals. The Trump economy has slowed the trend but not reversed it. Seek out these bits of Americana while you can and before they completely fade into oblivion.

Sorry, this is not 'rural' America. It may be small town America, especially small town in range of a larger city.
It's not rural America.
