    To each their own. I don’t live in the boonies but I’d like to retire there with some nice land to work on etc.

      You can have nice land to work on in rural village. Being miles from your neighbor is not a sustainable way to live. And probably not healthy for a social animal like humans.

      Transit between rural villages and the nearest city is possible and has been implemented in other countries

        I was at my healthiest mentally and physically when I lived that far from people and went weeks without seeing another person, so every time I see people say this I wonder if I’m actually human.

        Hmm. Healthy for who?

        I have no close friends and I couldn’t be happier. As a matter of fact, give me a cave, a phone, a single outlet and BAM. I’m good to go. I don’t want friends, I want to laugh at a stranger’s joke on the internet and I’m good.

          That puts you at an extreme, where there are not many like you. So I don’t care if you have a gas car. But you should not stand in the way for most people to live more ethicaly, without a car. Support dense cities so there are plenty of pristine caves for hermits to live in.

            I mean, yeah. Why not? I don’t want to live in a city, but if you give me a cave, I’m in.

            I wish I wasn’t me. I really do.
