Every time threads like this come up it humbles me to realize how many people have never actually seen, much less lived in, a rural setting. Yes this is gatekeeping, but it serves a purpose to set a realistic perspective. See below for folks who think 'rural' means a suburb of a major city.

- dkarp 5y agoThe difficulty for me is that I've been to very rural areas, I've stayed in rural areas and I've had friends/family in rural areas. And I do mean actually rural areas away from towns and cities. I've never lived there though and it is hard to get a feel for what would actually bother you until you've spent a significant amount of time there.
