I have lived in large city’s in my life, Sacramento, London, Chattanooga, but all as a kid to early 20’s. As a kid, London was great. Field trips to museums, parks, Stonehenge, etc. But now as an old fat man, you couldn’t pay me enough to live in a large city. I like the quiet country life. Right now, the frogs are croaking outside, and I see wildlife all day, and the stars at night. There are deer that walk in the yard, wild turkeys, raccoons, possums, and the list goes on. I can shoot off any gun that I want to, as often as I want to, any time I want to. I sometimes mow my grass naked, just because I can (Sorry you had to know that). There is only 1 traffic light in the entire county. On the other hand, yes, it is a 20 minute drive if I want to get a gallon of milk. But to me, it’s well worth the inconvenience. Now, please, don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing anyone, or judging your reasons...I’m just curious why you are not my neighbor...not you BWRR, you are my neighbor...I mean the others.

If everybody was your neighbor, YOU would live in the city. Lol

I wish I was further out, I'd like to have more property. Wife's job is already 45 minutes away and it's only 17 miles. We live in a suburb about 45 minutes north out of downtown Dallas. It's nice here, but... in the next 20 years, the forecast for our county's population is to grow by three MILLION more people to 3.8M. Needless to say, we are gonna be long gone before that, but we're good where we are for now until job situations change. We're gonna have to figure out where exactly the "city" is expanding to before we find a spot further out, because we've been watching the little towns around us turn into cities for the last few years.
