Few issues touch me as much as rural poverty. Because most of us live in cities, and because rural poverty looks quite different than urban poverty, it is hard for us to see it. When we do see it, it’s hard to empathize with it because many don’t quite understand it. It’s a much more hidden, but trapping kind of poverty, and it infects our countryside “from sea to shining sea.”
This is pretty important.
For those of you interested, Sullivan county is the bottom-most county on the left side of NY, in the 20%-14.3% range.
