Yes, my city has them and healthcare workers have become social workers as a result. Fortunately, I live kind of outside the city amongst the farms, but I'll have to move in a few years. I like having a mix of the good from each. Things are getting worse everywhere, I'm afraid.
Yeah, we're in a farming village within an hour of various urban sprawls.
That seems to be the kind of setup that makes me most happy, but things are declining everywhere. It's mostly drugs and property crimes in our smaller towns. A lot of it is actually perpetrated by people who come from the cities, interestingly enough. It's a way of reducing the odds of being caught or convicted for smaller crimes in the US due to how our jurisdictions work (my incentive theory).
