This is true and I’ve seen it work really well for people that want to be on the periphery of a major city - but in the exurbs if they WFH. Close enough for a trip to the city to do something worthwhile, but not doing the daily grind of driving into the city to work every weekday…as long as the state is blue and the exurbs are not tinged deep red, it can be very nice.
I think I’m the opposite here. Live in the city. Commute is short. Things I need are nearby and walkable. If I want to go hiking or something it’s a 20 minute drive. Living in the suburbs means basic needs involve car rides and parking.

Yes, yes. Continue spreading the rumor that there’s nothing worthwhile in rural places. That way there’s fewer people there.
Oh, I’m not saying that there is nothing worthwhile to do in rural places. I meant something that is worthwhile enough to make the trek into a city.
Quiet! Don’t give away the fact that the country is hella fun! Then it’ll get gentrified
They already are if you’re close enough to post on lemmy but go off king lmao
