Noise pollution, light pollution, higher crime, cluttered traffic, higher rents, higher taxes. Who wouldn't be jealous of that?

I think you overestimate the impact of those issues, or even hold an exaggerated view of their scale (I.e. crime). You fail to understand how urban America is organized.

The social problems of the poor are similar in the inner city and rural America, just ghettos get the extra misery of gang violence too
