Looking for a small few acres of land with a house to buy. Need to be within 30 minutes to an hours drive from medical offices, pain management, pharmacy, gas station and a McDonald's. Is this possible or can I just forget it?? Just looking for a place where I can be left with my cat rescue and peace and quiet, around like minded people. In Wyoming currently city of 18000. Where should I be looking?

Troll score:

Kinda funny but it would have hit home better if you mentioned politics, LQBTQ+ and maybe an anti-gun statement to get the conversation heated.

Overall 2.5/5.

There are websites that show you where stuff is. Like houses for sale.

30-60 minutes in summer or winter?

That's basically ALL of VT.

VT is by one standard the most rural state in the union; percentage of people living in cities or towns of 2500 or less. Whereas WY and AK and MT have similar population size, they have more people concentrated in larger cities further apart.

If you don't like the town you live in here, you can move 10 miles down the road, there's another one just like it. All told there's over 250 cities/towns to rest your soul and be left alone for not that much money.

My personal preference is that you stay where you are.

For not much money? You must live in a different VT.

No, I live in Expensive, VT. But if someone wants to move to East Dumbfuck, VT there are plenty of places that meet the stipulated criterion.

You can find a nice little place on a couple acres with no one else around in a place not everybody wants to live in for under $200k. Chances are they won't be reading this because there is no broadband among other inconveniences, but hey?

Is internet hard to come by or is it just horrendous everywhere?

Depends on what you mean by 'everywhere'. We have high speed internet to over 90% of the population, but that's only 50% of the area. So the more remote you go, the less the chance of high speed internet.

As I understand, the state has received various grants to get everyone up to speed in the nest couple years. Supposedly the cost will exceed $100 mil.

Boy I hope so because I'm so beyond that!

I'd suggest staying in Wyoming. At least for now. Housing is tight. Might cost more than Wyoming too. Out of curiosity, why would you leave Wyoming? I'd probably rather be in Wyoming. Wide open spaces, horses, cowboy boots and no man buns. (Some people still rock those here)

Land is cheaper in Wyoming too, I'd imagine.

Ha man buns..love it. Well I've never fit in here, the lifestyle is not for me. Moved here for work years ago now I'm retired but to be honest looking in New York at properties I think vermont might be out, gonna get more land and house over there!

You'd probably get more bang for your buck in New York. Covid made a lot of people move to very. A lot by Vermont standards. Lots of people are having trouble finding housing that's affordable for the local salaries. It's not impossible, but it takes work

I agree, seems to be much more for the money. Especially for a piece of land

Curious, why, specifically a McDonalds?

My daughter is autistic and a Sunday McDonald's run is a must, its the only place she will eat out at.

I mean have you ever had a McGriddle?

I think you're looking to be around Norwich (near Hanover NH), Rutland or Montpelier/Berlin. And I guess I need to try a McGriddle.

Eh you really dont. Though it is probably the high point of their garbage pile.

They're not really good. Unless you like weird, sweet meat.

We were just thinking we could use another crazy cat lady or two over here?

About your cats, Fischers are quick and mean, and outdoor cats have to be really something to survive.
