>every type of ethnic food you can imagine
I know it's hard to believe, but the only difference between a major metropolis and bum-fuck nowhere is the lack of ethnic food, and less stressful traffic.
Almost all modern-niceties have been commodified to even the outer regions of the hills.
- jermaustin1 5y agoI've spent months at my wife's grandpa's house, they are lacking (at least without making a full day's trip) in almost every modern convenience. What is funny though is once we close on it, he's loading up his 5th wheel and driving it to an even more remote property his friend owns out in Colorado. They are fully off-grid.
- rowanajmarshall 5y agoAs someone from bumfuck nowhere currently living in a megacity, there's more to it than that. Cultural events for one; the difference between a 20 minute train home and a 7 hour drive is pretty significant. Job availability is another one, remote helps but even with COVID we aren't there yet.

I can't imagine anything worse than being beholden to a handful of chain stores or the amazon catalog for all my wants and wishes. I've been doing all my shopping lately with local businesses, hard to do that in smaller areas that lack the customer base needed to support all these different businesses locally.
