Pros- space (i can have a full garden) i can see the stars paddling within a 2 minute drive to the nearest lake i’m responsible for my own heating fuel (ie i don’t have to depend on a pipe in the wall, i can stock up on wood) it’s normally quiet, but i can go somewhere else if i want to see people poutine easy to chat with local decision makers Cons- loads more chores CMP much fewer random interactions with strangers finding medical care is a nightmare no “good and quick” takeout, like i need to drive a half hour if i’m feeling too lazy to cook at home- so i just cook at home Similarities- Amish and whoopie pies there’s a load more, but i’ll stop there for now Permalink 4
