- “Hating the shit out of the next town over” to me would apply to Brown and Schaffts internal structure v. external relationships. In my opinion the authors would view this as a strong relationship as it relates to “hate” of an outside town due to how urbanism has made it difficult for the local economy to survive if per se, a Walmart comes within 50 miles or so and is perhaps this cheaper alternative to local, farm grown/raised products—so I think here the hate could be from an economic standpoint from farmers and farm families. Another form of this hate that Brown and Schafft would agree could happen is a result of political inequalities. An example of this would be the next town over having more of a voice in the legislative process
