We live 1 km from the preschool but it's a narrow country road with tall hedgerows and drivers doing 90-100kph. We live 13km from the primary school (it's the nearest non-religious one) and there is no public transportation.
Of course, this was a predictable consequence of moving to the countryside, but it meant we could get a super cheap house to dig ourselves out of a hole. We knew this was a predictable outcome and leaving is a logical step. We're done digging (the plan worked!)
"cycling paths that would be used by only a small percentage of the people living there"
Odd since many people already bike here, just at great risk to themselves, and a bike path can allow convenient, immediate transport as opposed to public transportation which doesn't work well at our low population densities. I have a bunch of footage of people riding bikes around here I need to put together in to a video, actually - mostly older folks.
I'm annoyed the car paths were imposed on us, but here we are.
