    The problem is we’ve all been mentally taught you can either live in island, R1A zoned suburbs which require driving to do ANYTHING or else you need to live in a huge metropolis like NYC

    I prefer areas zoned for agriculture over either of those. My favorite place I’ve lived so far is one where you look out at night and see nothing but inky black outside my windows. I’ll walk 5 miles to the nearest town for that.

      I’ll never argue with someone who wants that true, rural/countryside/homestead life. The appeal is there for me too, even if my own calculus says the cons wildly outweigh the pros.

      I’m pretty skeptical you’re going to find it 5 miles from a healthy town, though.
