I took it to mean not relatable because we go "what's the big deal, looks like a hillier version of what and who I can see if I find a state highway and drive 20 minutes", here in the Midwest. A jab at the New Yorker more than the Midwest. That's my charitable reading based on the tone of the rest of the post, anyway—but I could be wrong.

Exactly. The entire paragraph after that sentence confirms exactly this reading... charity not necessary.

Yeah, just leaving some wiggle room to account for my own stupidity, since it looks like at least one person read it differently.
