Bongs what's it like to grow up and live in England? My

Countryside is often like pic related.

Cities are pretty shitty apart from a tiny few, which are either incredibly expensive and exclusive or full of transgender liberal arts students.

How could one make a living and live in one of these small towns? Are Americans welcome?

I grew up in a village like this. Well, to be more accurate that part of the village was about half a mile away - I was on a council estate which was nothnig like that. Still, the gentrified part of the old village was much like this. Council estates are kind of like the projects in America I suppose. Not too many ethnics though; just white trash. Probably more Pakis now than there was when I was growing up there, I should imagine. White trash, Polish, Somalis, Pakis, Bangladeshis. Just bottom-tier people in general.

Anyway, those places are full of tracksuited underage drinkers, everyone stinks of weed, there's at least one local pedo that everyone knows about, a lot of broken glass and generalised violence. That kind of thing. Al lthe buildings are pebble-dashed and cheap with plasterboard inner doors. There's a bin smell as well.

Thanks for crushing my dreams of a comfy English countryside to raise children in.

Americans are welcome I suppose, yeah. This isn't the War when people hated you guys because you earned double what our soldiers did and as a result got to bang all the local women.

Actually getting a job would be harder. Somewhere like York, Lincoln, Bath or Bristol would be your best bet for a combination of relative comfiness plus job opportunities. Most actual comfy small towns have no jobs.

Why Americans like this? Other Anglo colonies aren't.

Just don't live in a shitty poverty-tier area and you'll be fine. Like I said, just up the road there was a picturesque village like your pic with beautiful moors, old hillside mills, long country walks with amazing views, canals and so on. The only thing is, expect a lot of hills. If you can't handle hills fuck off.

He mentioned it was a council estate. That's like saying don't move to America because of a housing project.

It's terrible. I'm going to emigrate before it's too late.

You don't even have to live that far outside the major cities. Unlike the U.S, because of green belt policies you can still live near the city and have a relatively cosy country-ish life.

Generally every area has a good and bad part. The poor were forced into 'mixing' with the wealthy but it's just not worked out. If you're rich enough you can live away from the scum much like you can anywhere in the world.
