I completely agree! It's insanity. My husband are seriously considering getting some land and homesteading. Anything to lessen our reliance on the government. The problem is, we still need to live close enough to his work. So it's really hard to find a rural enough area. Our area is exploding, so there are a lot of places that used to be very rural, but suburban neighborhoods are moving in. It's difficult to know where we could go where that wouldn't happen.
