furb 10/13/19 8:39:58 PM #22:	Rural housing costs might be cheap, but please remember the hidden costs. You need to drive 25 or 30 miles in many cases just to buy groceries. And you're only option is a dollar general. You may live an hour away from a doctor should you get sick or need a checkup. There's no mass transit or public service. The fire departments are volunteer and my be far away. Police coverage is spotty too. Due to low population, even service jobs can be at a premium given fast food, pharmacies, and gas stations are not on every corner. As somebody who grew up in rural Appalachia, I've seen rural poverty. It might be in the hollows, creek bottoms, hills, trailers, and shanties, but it is just as isolating, soul crushing, and dehumanizing as urban poverty. Instead of public housing, it's 30 miles from a grocery store, up a creek valley, behind rusted out pickup trucks, and in a trailer covered in coal soot. Or its in a farmstead proudly built 4 generations ago, but now has peeling lead paint, rotting floorboards, on a farm reclaimed by nature. Poverty is a scourge regardless of where it is happening. Rural and urban poverty are the same sickness with slightly different symptoms. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.

furb 10/13/19 8:55:28 PM #29:	Upper Ohio Valley region of West Virginia. The county has around 10,000 people total. It had almost 20,000 in 1900. The failure of the rustbelt nuked the economy. We produce huge amounts of natural gas but most of the wealth is moved out of state. My family is a mix of the local medical doctor, newspaper, and independent merchant stock. So, my life was pretty ok. But it was so sad growing up seeing kids who had basically nothing for clothes wear the same things to school every day, and likely only got to eat because of school programs. Heroin and meth the past two decades have made things way worse too. But I've traveled significantly in Southern West Virginia, the eastern mountain region, and some in Eastern Kentucky. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.

Holy_Pumpkin 10/14/19 4:12:18 PM #38:	furb posted... Rural housing costs might be cheap, but please remember the hidden costs. You need to drive 25 or 30 miles in many cases just to buy groceries. And you're only option is a dollar general. You may live an hour away from a doctor should you get sick or need a checkup. There's no mass transit or public service. The fire departments are volunteer and my be far away. Police coverage is spotty too. Due to low population, even service jobs can be at a premium given fast food, pharmacies, and gas stations are not on every corner. As somebody who grew up in rural Appalachia, I've seen rural poverty. It might be in the hollows, creek bottoms, hills, trailers, and shanties, but it is just as isolating, soul crushing, and dehumanizing as urban poverty. Instead of public housing, it's 30 miles from a grocery store, up a creek valley, behind rusted out pickup trucks, and in a trailer covered in coal soot. Or its in a farmstead proudly built 4 generations ago, but now has peeling lead paint, rotting floorboards, on a farm reclaimed by nature. Poverty is a scourge regardless of where it is happening. Rural and urban poverty are the same sickness with slightly different symptoms.

Rural areas are actually quite expensive for housing outside of the deep south. But the land is cheap, which is why a mobile home in the middle of nowhere is very affordable. --- Take a lesson from parakeets.
