My problem is that while I'm in a more rural area, I live in a suburb surrounded by ppl...... So I don't have a lot of small businesses because it's mostly chains/box stores that are coming in as this area is built up and more neighborhoods are added. But we are still outside of any big cities and there are literally farms and horses and cows right outside my neighborhood. It's a very odd mix. And sort of the worst of both worlds. My husband and I really want to buy some property outside of the city limits and start a homestead. That isn't possible right now, but it's something we are working towards.
Yea, but the advantage to more rural living is you can just get away from people for awhile when they all go nutcase on you.
