I'm a city cell but mirin all the country cells who wake up to nature and enjoy a better breakfast for 60% less cost.

City wagie rushing to get to his cagie vs country boi putting on his long John overalls and working the land.

I shoulda been a Cowboy

1.5 acres 35 mins outside a world class city. 35 mins from pure farmland. Best of both worlds.

Minus the property taxes. Fuuuuuuu.

City’s are ok for someone’s 20s

Property taxes higher in the city ironically

1.5 acres? Das not it mane. My dogs run is bigger than that.

Having a dog run ain't it. My pup trained. Just open door, he knows where to stay.

Countrycels are also happier. Citycels seem to be the ones polluting misc with misery.

This. Ultimately the experience between country, city, and rural are so vastly different that you are fortunate if you can experience all of them.

Right after college is the perfect time to work in a city. You’re surrounded by other ambitious people your age, easy to try hobbies, extend your college partying years, date around, work for big companies, and you don’t mind living in a chit box apartment because your college housing likely sucked.

There are a ton of people who live in suburbs right after college and get bored fast and then find dumb ways to instill drama into their lives because they never had that party phase



That said I live in LCOL country now and recently spent a week visiting people in NYC. Good god you couldn’t pay me to live like that in a major city again:

- brb absurd rent
- brb you still have a window unit air conditioner at best, no closet, no in unit laundry machine
- brb can only go for a run outside at Central Park, everywhere else polluted to hell
- brb “check out this restaurant! Check out this (insert gimmick here) bar!”. Oh well Latin inspired ramen bowls and random themed cocktail bar. Again, cool as chit at 23 but when you’re older you see it for what it is and know it won’t be around in 5 years
- brb what else is there to do? More restaurants ?
- brb $80 bill
- brb smells like chit, public transport is awful , etc


Can go on and on. Not to say that burbs don’t have drawbacks but can’t IMO cities are for poor immigrants and broken degenerate people looking to extend their youth into their late 30s and 40s.



The GOAT are small town squares. You get the walkability of a city (can walk to bar, restaurant, gym, coffee shop, park, etc), with unique snd historical architecture you don’t find in burbs but more privacy and land. Really is great

you watch too many movies;
real countrycells wake up, drag their tradie ass to work generally no breakfast and its super early. drive pass the local dollar general cause its the only store within 20 miles, to score your fenty.

You are out of your mind if you don’t realize the ratio of independent businesses, family farms etc… is vastly skewed in favor of rural areas having more business/land owners etc.. than drones to company owners in city’s right?

And most people who fall into general labor don’t want the responsibilities that comes with doing things on their own schedule. They want to work then party as hard as they fukkin can until they crash. And do it again.

Claiming everyone in the country is a tradie laborer is a very laughable claim when ratio’s against 9-5 cubicelcels and shareholder overlords, even ceos working on other peoples time.

If my olfactory organs got assaulted to that level every time I stepped out of my 200 sq ft apartment I'd be an azzhole too

Countrycel is GOAT but here's the thing....

Most country side living jobs are either: tradies/factory work...and a few teachers, cops, doctors, etc.

Hard to get a good paying job.

Mirin farmer’s hat tbh

Never lived in a rural area. It sounds like it’d be great for a season or two, but the isolation and lack of amenities would get tiring.

50 acres in the middle of nowhere. Don't pay property taxes

40 acres, inc 3 acre lake, less than an hours commute to the centre of the city.

But cost of living is also lower. There's jobs, but you will commute. You don't get to not have a car if you're about that country life.

Very creative username OP.

I've been leaning more towards rural areas to live as of late. Big city crime risks are now something to seriously consider depending on the location.

Live right in the middle of 18,000 contiguous acres… wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Suburbs are a good in between. I'm an hour or so from a couple major cities and not that far from the countryside.

You're gonna have to commute whether you're white collar or blue if you actually live rural. The trick is to live as far away as you can't without the commute being too much. Within an hour of where I work in the state capital you can be deep in the boonies here where as, in places with bad traffic like DC or southern California where it takes hours to go 5 miles its almost impossible to live rural and work in the city
