HEY MAN TV ON PC posted:my family has a place in the North Cascades in Washington that's only accessible by boat or floatplane. There are cars up there, but there are no roads in; cars have to be barged in. They never really got phones, but now everyone has satellite internet. we haven't been up this year because the biggest family up there that controls a lot of the valley continues to descend into pentacostal fundamentalism/trumpism and thinks the virus is a hoax Two points: 1 this place sounds loving fantastic 2 this same problem literally exists everywhere remote in the usa. It's the biggest loving drag. I love the countryside and especially remote mountain ranges but they are filled with the worst loving people and it's the biggest disappointment

It's very peaceful and therapeutic. The air is fresh and there's no noise or light pollution. I can walk out my back door and just trundle through fields, over streams, say hi to cows, birds of prey and foxes. I can just walk for hours exploring on my own like Lara Croft and find some of the most beautiful nature and scenery. I've found dinosaur fossils and hidden neolithic monuments. All with a joint in my backpocket. I can sleep in the long grass, watch the clouds and sunset without a care in the world. I can roll around in the mud and get destroyed and feel at one with nature. Nobody cares Rural living will always trump urban hellscape life. The Real Amethyst fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Jul 19, 2020 |

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:you can bury anything you want and no one will ever know. I had to put down my dog and it was extremely sad but one nice thing we were able to do is bury her on the property. Can't do that if you don't have land. I mean you can I guess but uh it was way easier since we do.

I've lived in both - a city of 9 million (and another of 6 million), and I've lived 2 miles from the nearest sealed road, 5 miles from the nearest neighbour. I like both. Right now I'm living in a city but through quirk in the shape of the place I'm maybe 20 minutes walk along a river to the center of the city, but I have this view out the back and I can go walk for 30 miles in most directions and not encounter another person.

A few weeks ago I was on a trip to see where my granddad lived as a teenager after his parents lost their farm in the Great Depression. There was actually no mobile phone reception at all over there and there were people who lived there permanently. My granddad's farmstead was now rented out as a holiday home and didn't have a landline either.

Remote rural areas may not has as many idiots per square mile but the ones they do have are far, far, FAR chudlier than their urban counterparts.

having money in a remote rural region can be very pleasant as your dollars might go a bit further and you are able to insulate yourself both physically and socially to a much greater degree than you can in a major city, if that’s your chosen lifestyle thing. For example you might be able to be independently wealthy and not work in an amount of money that you couldn’t live off of in a more expensive location. if you don’t “have money” but say inherit rural real estate and don’t have to pay for housing, that might also let you eek out a low effort existence which can also be very pleasant, again if you’re more of a stay at home introvert type.
