I'm building a tiny house 20 miles out of town. No electricity. No running water. Tomorrow, I plant my onions. Cities may be fine to visit but I don't want to live in one forever. I grew up on that land and I'm going home!

I prefer to live on the edge of a city of about 100,000. Traffic isn't too bad, but you get all the kids activities, medical care, etc of a larger city.

I agree with you 100%!!

I never lived in the country. I really can't say. I do like urban amenities. But I like to hear the barred owls hoot too.

I'm in the burbs, the far edge of the city, for the moment. The city is encroaching. I am 15 to 20 minutes from work with all the city amenities nearby. I'd like to be more rural, but living alone and working full time I don't see that happening. I have a small garden, and mostly ignore the HOA.

This is when making your own medicines becomes a valuable resource to share with small communities. antibiotic colloidal silver, high octane liposomal vitamn C..and enough quantum Rife frequencies and electromagnetic pulsed field therapies to virtually bring anyone back from the dead..lol.
