Very good video, thank you.
In California, the homeless that are camped on the pavement are just the tip of the iceberg. Thousands more have moved into their cars. They can't leave because (Calif, Florida NYC ect ect) this is where the jobs are. Once you lose your home or apartment it is almost impossible to get off the street and your life begins to fall apart.
Mississippi could offer opportunities. Why are all those stores empty They could become homes. What are the zoning laws

Many hospitals in these small Mississippi towns (as well as other small towns across the US) are designated as Critical Access Hospitals. These hospitals are located in underserved communities with a lower population density. They receive Federal Grants and higher Medicare reimbursement for hospitalizations.

Some well-kept small towns! My guess is that some folks in those nicer homes in Prentiss might be doctors and administrators who work in the hospital I'm glad that you're showing all sides of these towns and not just trying to show poverty in a sensational way. A well balanced approach.

You do not have to be rich to have a nice, clean yard. A low crime area does not automatically mean a wealthy, white suburb. It means the residents are clean and kind to their neighbors. It's fiat/fake money anyway. These people know the finer things in life are truly free.

The city of Prentiss and Prentiss County which is in Northeast Mississippi are two different places. Some people might get them mixed up. I wish I could rename Jefferson Davis County into Prentiss County and the current Prentiss County could be renamed something else.

These Mississippi towns also have a lot of black history & culture. Although I don't like the politics of Mississippi, I would feel comfortable living in one of these towns versus many other small towns throughout America

Reread your statistics on Prentiss. Therein lies your answer as to why the yards & houses are well maintained as compared to statistics of other small towns. Don't mean to be racial, but that's the way it is down here.

Pride doesn't come from money, it comes from the individual. What nice looking little towns. Looks like country living at it's best. I'm sure many make the drive down to Hattiesburg, where my sister lives, for work.

I asked in another of your videos I just watched whether you were still doing cat sightings because I couldn't remember you doing it in recent videos. I guess this video answers that question. Jackpot day for cats!

I'm starting to think the data reported is incorrect, financials under reported or these towns have some kind of subsidization. I couldn't imagine the local tax revenue could support all of that.

you should check out parsons, kansas, lotta abandoned homes, seems like a dying town, stayed there for a week, really close to Picher, OK too, so that would be a good stop on a trip in my opinion.

My girlfriend and I would love to see you cover the James/Younger area of Missouri. Especially the area of Cass County Missouri.
Look up the story of Gun City, and the Kingdom of Amarouge.

They may be poor but they're culturally homogeneous and seem to cherish traditional values like respect for yourself, your town, your neighbor and fear of God.

Joe, people with money are moving into these small towns and are working from home. A local job is not needed, hence why some towns are stunning!

The only downside to all those towns is that they are right in tornado alley. They've been hit by some EF4 twisters.
Oh, JR is Junior Food Mart.
