[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just cheaper housing.  It’s better schools, less crime and fewer homeless people.

Not to mention rural, towns and suburbs have caught up in terms of dining, gyms and other amenities.  You no longer need to live in a city for access to these things.  [/quote]

No. I live in a rural town and there is none of the following here or within 90 minutes of me: stores such as Lululemon, Apple, Athleta, Nordstrom, Coach and also Whole Foods, Equinox, Lifetime Fitness, Trader Joe’s, Soulcycle, Justsalad, Sweetgreen and Cava.[/quote]

Every single one of these things that isn’t edible is available more conveniently online, and my smaller town has a better organic market and much better artisanal restaurants than Sweetgreen and Cava lol.[/quote]

What smaller town can support an organic market?? This most be a vacation destination. Real rural towns don’t have organic markets, they have a section in Walmart. . [/quote]

This is just untrue.  I lived in a very rural town that had an organic co-op.

You should get out once in a while.[/quote]

Outside of New England It a resort town?  Name the state [/quote]

I've lived in North Carolina and Wisconsin- this is true of both. I still would never willingly move to any one these states permanently though. [/quote]

I've lived in NC.  Maybe in the west there are some towns (not small cities like Asheville or Boone) with tourist and artist attraction that have organic markets.  But otherwise NO, you're lucky to have something other than a dollar store!  Can't speak to Wisconsin.  I grew up in rural New York (hundreds of people).  Local playhouse I'm summer but otherwise no performing arts, no university/4 year college, no organic markets (but some farm stands), no Starbucks.  But there is Walmart!! [/quote]
