[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people who moved way out have realized there are definitely downsides they didn't anticipate. Need doctors? Need schools with a good STEM teachers? Don't want to drive hours for entertainment? [/quote]

They have doctors, good STEM teachers and entertainment “way out.” Whatever are you prattling on about. [/quote]

I am sure that's true and the PP is being unnecessarily snarky.

But I also tend to think that there are people who moved to more rural places during the pandemic and are discovering that it's not actually what they want now. Of course a house on a little piece of land far from other people sounded good in 2020 or even early 2021. Especially in the DMV where things really did shut down for a long time and masking was really common and often culturally enforced. I don't know anyone who didn't feel, at some point during that time, "oh my god I just want to go live on a farm in the middle of nowhere."

But only a small percent of people who felt that way in 2020/2021 are actually well suited to that lifestyle. That's not a criticism of the lifestyle, just an acknowledgement that people definitely made that decision somewhat rashly and reactively during the pandemic and may now be re-evaluating just exactly wha they want.

- Signed, someone who is very glad my spouse talked me down from moving "to the country" in December 2020 and is SO GLAD we're still in our little house in a dense, walkable neighborhood where we also spent all of Covid, somewhat uncomfortably but whatever, we got through it.[/quote]
