I dunno about all that. I've been poor in a rural area and it was much, much easier to get by. I could rent a crappy apartment on a minimum wage and stuff was cheap in general.
I've since moved to the city precisely because I'm making more money now and it's where the jobs are but I'd never survive on my old salary from 15 years ago when I was broke.
People stick to the cities because it's more efficient to live in proximity to work and social circles than to spend all of your spare time driving or just missing out because there's nothing around you.
