Cities are a bad idea, we have learned nothing in 10,000 years.

cities are ok. it's the concentration of entitled people that is the real problem...

Cities endure and become centers for the advancement of civilization. Isolated towns and villages get burned down and their inhabitants massacred in wartime while spending their peacetime violently enforcing regressive conformity on their citizens. People living alone in the wilds die lonely and afraid, usually of something stupid and otherwise preventable.

That's what history -actual history, not loner hardman Discovery Channel homesteader nonsense- has taught us.

And yes, cities commonly have their issues - that are no worse than the issues faced by smaller communities. The difference is that everyone hears about what's going in the cities because that's where all the attention gets focused. No one hears about the people that get quietly stomped on generation after generation in Bumfuckington, Nowhere and its thousand thousand little counterparts spread all over.

you are both wrong and right, as cities are where wealth is.
so people with wealth live there, otherwise they are homeless and then you're in a concret jungle. just a different type of wilderness.

THIS Weregoat!!

As antisocial as I am, I still prefer the big city - hand's down - any time, any day, any place rather than the backwards, backwoods small town.

Tourists

Living in a house out away from an urban environment just means you need to think ahead about what you need to do in town and try to do as much as possible in as few of trips as possible.

And maybe work a vegetable garden to get fresh food without having to always stop to the grocery.

I've lived rural and subrural most of my life. There's something to be said for the reliability of being closer in to civilization. Without it, you're left to fend for yourself, requiring more skills, and more expensive tools.. to get what you need.

Not to mention the internet................

Growing up on a farm (and having no wish to be a farmer myself), I tend to agree.
That siad, still very much a country person who doesn't like people.
So I look for a place just on the edge of a small-medium town.
Of course, having grown up on a farm... my definition of base comforts seem to be lower than others...

They're acting like they'll never see each other again.

maybe they found an old hockey mask in the attic...

What ya want is a large block on the outskirts of a small-medium town. Preferably in an area safe from sprawl.

Wonder if the distance will be an issue if two foxes who are bff's get their nose booped. Would she have to call her and ask to mail what was teleported, or just ask her to boop some undies back? I'd ask Wolf, but I'm not sure how he would react.

You can manage, Tor! You can call Jan for computer questions and just plan your grocery trips!

Same feeling when moving from NY to NH.

"What was I thinking?! I'm a city boy!"

That house sounds fantastic

Totally relatable. I'm a city boy through and through. I need my convenience! XD

ROFL! Clever!

I'd forgotten about their house.

Meep fox is the only one who doesn't sleep naked???

Having spent a good chunk of my life in a rural area, I agree with KaiserDunk's and Foxobox' comments: You do indeed have to plan trips and combine errands to save on time and fuel. You do have to fend for yourself where possible. And Internet access can be iffy. I spent 10 years on dialup before I moved out.

*squeak*

Shouldn´t you check these things BEFORE buying the house?

Yeah, part of the problem of living in the sticks, or even just on the outskirts of city limits. XD You trade a lot for your peace and quiet!
