Thank you for the warning.
So let me share my experience to balance it out: in my village there is a tiny building by the road that used to be a gas station in the 50s/60s.
Today the main road has been diverted so only local traffic is passing by and the station has been closed for decades.
10 years ago a group of people decided to transform the building, they got money from the town for paint and changing the window and now it's like a little free library but for books, toys and clothes. The whole village is using it.
A lot of it is kid clothing, it's always open without anyone to supervise it and people are respectful, it stays clean and people don't storm the place to resell what they can.
This sounds delightful and like a place that isn't still paying the cost of slavery. Occasionally in areas that are rural enough there will be farm stands where folks pay for items on an honor system. But it's gotta be pretty far away from the cities. Your town sounds like a place where people respect a basic dignity of folks and we need more of it
How can I apply for citizenship?
