your comment could apply equally to (urban|rural) areas. I see no distinction, "handle our own business" could mean the urban credo "stop snitching". police are an hour (-drive) away could mean police are investigating a more serious offense and won't show up to your 'hood.

"we're more alike than we are different" - maybe?

Exactly. I live in cow country and now in the urban core of a metro area. Society is structured around the suburbs.
