There is something about “rural” that just seems to attract those types of people, but in particular, “SE of Dallas” seems to be extra-shitty.

My dad lives in Lancaster, south of Dallas, and it’s generally not too back. But Wilmer and Balch Springs, both “southeast” of Dallas… shitty places.

Then there’s the poor unincoorporated area of Sand Branch that is also SE of Dallas that is struggling - they’re not shitty, just shitty circumstances given to them…
