1. DH grew up in a rural area until he was like 14. He said the best thing his parents did for him was to move out of the rural area. Nothing to do for teens = get into trouble.
He also said a lot of the teens didn't go to college.  The peer group is just different.

2. We are a biracial family, and we want diversity.

3. Too far from a major airport. We have family on the opposite side of the coast, and also in another country, and we like to travel.

Plus all the other things people mentioned.

But, if you like the rural life, and you think your kids will, too, then sure. But, I know my kids would hate it.[/quote]

Agree with the above.  My parents and extended family grew up in a rural area, and everyone from my parents generation onward could not leave fast enough. Opportunities for education and jobs are very limited in rural areas, very few amenities, and the drug use is unreal.

Cousins my age who stayed in the rural communities ended up strung out on drugs and/or had children in their teens. None of them went to college, and one even dropped out of high school.

No way would I do that to my kids.[/quote]
