I’ve lived the urban life. I’m currently living the pastoral life. The pastoral life is better. In fact I look back at all those years on the “fast track” — the rush, the high taxes, the tolls, the traffic — as a dark nightmare period of my life. Now I am more relaxed, healthier, wealthier, and love going to farmers’ markets on Saturday mornings. If you have not tried both options, you are not in a position to judge, but common sense should tell you lower cost and proximity to food sources is going to be less stressful. I must be missing the connection between fascism and rural life.
I used to be in that kind of bind. We made a plan to get ourselves out of debt, repair and sell our house, and move to a rural area. We talked and planned and dreamed but then we actually rolled up our sleeves and did it. It took us about 10 years.

Then you must be a whowite supreme pizza bigot. Lol welcome to the club 😂
Some of us are deeply in debt and we can't afford to leave, even though we can't afford to stay, either. The cities are where all the jobs are at.
