Poverty In Illinois

It's sad the we have places outside of Chicago in rural areas where people are living well below and I mean well below the poverty line. There's places in Illinois where people don't have proper sanitation where they are using buckets and out houses as toilets and living in tin shacks and mud roads, and can't get mail because where they live isn't on a map and they don't have a zip code. In my wildest dreams could I have imagine this not just in Illinois but in America period. Because the stereotype is that people in third world countries or maybe in back woods rural areas in the south may live like that but never could this happen in the Midwest.Well there is a town of African Americans in Illinois who live in these conditions and there are many more hidden across the US where people of all nationalities are suffering. So lose the stereotype because it happens here too.
