Agreed, like with virtually everything it is a tradeoff. I did not like the loud, fast cars five feet from our door, the drugs, the shootings (only twice but it was enough for me to move), and the hectic pace, lots of strangers. I still love the city we lived in and if I had to be in a city that's the one. I was willing to trade city problems for the rural problems. Living rurally on over a 100 acres, I am free to do a not that was not even possible on our 1/4 acre not in the city. I fix up old tractors and trucks in my free time with my sons. This summer I plan to get a sawmill and try my hand at building historical structures (log cabins, old style pole barns, etc.).
