The video looks like Beverly Hills compared to the holler where I grew up (in Appalachia). Of course, we did not have the drug issues and folks wanted to work (because if you did not, you did not eat). Few folks even drank beer. None of my extended family drank alcohol at all. Most folks raised a lot of their own food so you worked (if you could find a job) and then when you got home, you worked some more. Drugs are pretty bad back home now too. Mostly meth.
We had no industry (unlike coal regions). Coal was pretty lucrative at one time...so a lot of those coal towns were relatively prosperous/wealthy at one time and there were plenty of good jobs (mining). We had/have some very pretty natural scenery (just like in the video) ...but our shacks were much worse. Of course that was 50 years ago.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
