People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

    I grew up in what was a rural area that suburbanized as I got older. Even then, it would still be around 15-20 minutes to get anywhere by car, including the grocery store. There wasn’t much to do that didn’t involve church, so if I wanted to do something like go to the movies it would be about a 30 minute drive with good traffic. Where I’m at now is in the middle of a moderate size city, where I can walk to restaurants and bars, and I can get to several grocery stores or movies or the mall within 10 minutes. I like living in the city better, I don’t want to live far away from stuff anymore.
