I grew up in Vermont so my anecdotes are out of date but: one of our neighbors ran an unlicensed trash dump in his front yard. He had appliances and salvage, even a couple of cars buried underneath the driveway. Some of his more direct neighbors complained about it, but nobody backed them up because he was also the snowplow operator for our neighborhood and hence untouchable. There was also some friction (in general) over hunting and private property. In grade school all the kids hung out regardless of what their parents did, but in high school things tended to partition between the kids whose parents went to college and expected their kids to do so too, and the kids who didn’t have that background. A few wannabe neo-Nazi kids showed up from a much more remote town; not sure if that was a class divide or just an asshole divide.
