An even more unfortnate side effect is that these people really do think they live in the big city.

Here in the ATX, things are a little different. I live virtually downtown, while actually living in another town altogether. Of course, they created my own little corner of heaven to keep the darkies out of their schools.
During a mayoral election, they brought our firm's candidate around to glad-hand all the lawyers. The future mayor was dismayed to learn that 90% of us lived across the river and could not vote for him. Smartly, his handler started introducing him to staff.
