Purchasing your own land and staying the fuck away of any metropolitan areas.

Eh.

want

Dream.

Shit

@Stuxnet
This.

@SortOfTested I grew up in a rural area it's not as great as ppl think it is lol

Any time I wanna go shopping for clothes I gotta drive at least an hour, takes at least 20 mins to get to a grocery store, any theres literally nothing to do entertainment wise.

Can understand not wanting to live in one of the major cities with a milli+ population, but a small city with like 150-250k is where it's at lol

@Stuxnet
When I lived in Texas, that was basically the story. Grocery store was 20 minutes (30 if traffic on the one lane cow path), gas station was 5 miles. Not a sidewalk in sight.

I'd much rather deal with NIMBYs than having fuck all to do in BFE. Never fantasized about the little house on the prairie supply run.

@Stuxnet Couldn't agree more. If the store is more than 15min away (by walking), it's too far from me.

@Jilano For real.

I went to DC last summer and where our hotel was had a grocery store, several restaurants, a pharmacy and stop to get on the Metro within a 1-1.5 mile radius.

I'm tryna live somewhere like that. The problem is, the tech city (it's actually more like three of them in a close region) in my state has a plethora of companies that build their own campuses, and it's a sizeable trip away from the actual city. It's annoying because I wanna live there, but I still want to be able to walk *everywhere*, work included.

@Stuxnet Tough choice. Are all those campuses "reachable" with a bike or public transport? That could be a way, I guess.
Otherwise you could try to remote half the time (or similar).

@Jilano it's like a 20 minute car drive to get to most of them, so not really.

Ig driving just to work isn't as bad as driving everywhere, but either way I'll figure something out.

To me, if « I made it » as a dev, it would mean I don’t have to work for a living anymore. SO, BFE sounds pretty damn good provided it’s by a sea and has year around sun.

Me needs it, me wants it, me dont have it, me poor! :(

I have it, it sucks ass. There's no one for like 20 miles, nearest town's like 50 niles away, jack shit is within walking distance.
