After spending many holidays with family living in places that are poorly served by public transportation and have few or no amenities that are easily reachable without a car, I've realized that those two factors are going to be at the top of the list when thinking about where I might want to live as I get older (assuming I have luxury of choosing).
I finally learned to drive because I didn't want to feel trapped by not being able to. But the real trap is not having any other options.
@beep my dream since I first saw the internet was to someday live in the middle of nowhere but with fast internet.
After five years on five acres in the hills (finally with fiber internet) the biggest drawback is every trip involves cars, and the 10-15min trip into town for anything is getting old. I wish I could walk or ride everywhere.
@jenschuetz Oof, I hear that 💜
Gotta say, I’m so inspired by what you two have built for yourselves: that you’ve got the city at your doorstep, but the long sojourns are there when you need them.
