I guess not all rural places are the same.
Makes me wonder how much better the situation was in rural areas.
Yeah, you're getting downvoted but this is true in rural/semi-rural areas.
Could also be a rural vs urban concern.
I think it's more a rural vs cities/town thing.
You need to visit rural areas. Not everything is a city.
Guessing you don't live in a major city. These things would be fine in rural places all over the world.
In rural areas this isn't too hard as they often don't have the in the first place. Of course there are reasons people generally live in cities.
I'm thinking that its because many HN users live in or close to medium to large sized cities. So they have no perspective when it comes to a place that's truly rural. They just see that some small city has no high rises or large companies and just assume "that must be a rural town."
you're describing a rural area, not a suburban one.
