I live in a semi-rural area. Used to be rural until land developers added subdivisions. I was one of those developers.
Now, we have city folks coming out, buying a 5 acre ranchette and are complaining about farming noises, & ranching smells. They don’t think you should have the right to cut hay at 3 in the morning. Now there is a push to ban farm animals from the county... One old rancher got reported for leaving his dogs outside in the winter. Those dogs had never been in the house in their entire lives. Odd study in human behavior. I think it all boils down to selfishness and lack of empathy.

You want internet, move somewhere with it. Your job isn't there? OK, guess you get to use internet when you visit the kids in the big city. So you don't have internet. Who gives a damn? I am pretty sure oxygen still flows without it and nobody is going to die. This. There are upsides and downsides to living in the country. My experience is that people who are truely rural aren't willing to pay what it takes to deliver modern internet service, or they simply don't care. I'm tired of this entitlement BS.
