Default The Worse Parts Of America Needn't Be The Poorer

But, for sure they could injure the soul
The question is which are they?

Those who live in such parts may not realise or admit they are damaging
But when they come away from them, they can see how adverse they are
I can think of some folks who lived in California or Texas who are glad they moved away
On the other hand, places like Detroit or New Orleans can only get better now, no?

The web, particularly under `Images´, can give us access to all sorts of comparisons on maps now. There are those for the incidence of various aspects of health across the U S A, and, probably, there'd be some on things like traffic congestion. And maps are especially useful for situating your home, business, etc. A superior one I'd use, with its many comments too, is http://www.city-data.com/

I can't find a map of ceiling-height, though. It appears so low and claustrophobic in most American homes that their dwellers will feel hemmed-in and be subconsciously tense, with the musculature in contraction. The major blood vessels passing through them are squeezed enough for the blood pressure to be raised, with the danger of heart attacks, strokes, etc. I've seen some wonderfully high ceilings depicted in the better parts of Santa Fe New Mexico and Pinedale Wyoming; and I've got impressively high ceilings here, and feel much better for it

Hmmm. My ceilings are about 9 feet, I don't feel at all claustrophobic. All else in your post N/A.

And would that mean you'll soon be back to discussing the most salubrious parts of Florida, etc?
