I feel I am in a fairly good position to answer your question. I grew up in New York and spent years as an adult on the East Coast, and I now live in rural Oregon. I come from a wealthy New York City family, yet I too was appalled by the things you describe. It seemed unnatural that people were either very prosperous or very poor. I felt quite uncomfortable living on the East Coast. People seemed so separated by class, religion, etc. I moved out West in 1980, and I have enjoyed a liberating sense of freedom since I’ve made that decision. Here, in Western Oregon, people tend to judge you more on who you are rather than your backround.
