> There's no amount of internet speed that would make me move to a place where there's reduced services and infrastructure in every other category, like schools, hospitals (this is a big one), water, sewer, transit, etc. and there are millions more like me.
I moved to "rural lite", and have a well and septic. That part isn't so hard to live with; although no water for a couple days when our well pump went out wasn't fun.
The hard part IMHO, is that everything takes so long to get to. We've got a good small town that's a couple minutes away, but if I need to go to a big box store, that's 30-45 minutes, each way. I like it here, and I have a 8 acre parcel, which is incompatible with suburbia, but it's an adjustment.
