People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

If the internet is good, and I’m not too far from town (like within 30 minutes driving) then hell yeah I’d live in a rural area. I’m more of a homebody so apart from buying groceries and going out on weekends I wouldn’t have to drive too much. The only thing is I’d need a home gym to avoid going back and forth every day

It's bliss - at night with the windows open it's dead silent. No cars zooming down the highway, no dogs barking at all hours of the night. No annoying lights from your neighbors shining into your house, and you can actually see the stars at night. All you hear are the sounds of nature.

Plus there's no HOA and enough land to have a small orchard with a flock of chickens (both for eggs and meat production) to produce fertilizer/compost for the gardens/orchard.

Luckily the grocery store is a 15 minute bicycle ride away (so the car stays at home most of the time). But you're absolutely right - the home gym necessity. I'm constantly adding equipment (since a home gym is never "finished" lol). I like using my Fitbod app since I can tell it what gear I have at home to play with so it'll generate routines using only that equipment.
