If you’re really looking for an honest answer to any of these questions you should know Reddit is not the place for it, it’s a liberal hive mind. I’ve lived in Nepa my entire life. We have our home on five acres with solar, garden beds, chickens, fruit trees, water storage etc. Many of my neighbors and local community are also into alot of the same self sustainable lifestyle. I also live in Lackawanna county which is very blue, thankfully this mindset is not a liberal/ conservative issue. The vaccine culture here is very much a personal choice and the crime outside cities is very low, we also have a great state for hunting game and a decent 2A community if you’re into those as well.
