I kinda already do. Drive 5 minutes in any direction and it’s farmland… Maybe not as rural as some, but I’m kinda out there compared to every other place I’ve lived. I’d go more rural.
The only real down side I’d have is that the internet would suck donkey balls, and I like having good internet… Assuming I can overcome that, then 100% I’d go further rural than I am.
I’m not living in the brush or anything, I’m in a tiny suburb type area, in-between large farmlands. About ~5k people in my little township, and I happen to be in those suburbs. Internet here is pretty decent, no fiber, but it’s decent. We have “city water” and sewer, natural gas and electricity from the grid… Given enough money, I’d live further out with well water, septic, and off-grid power… No hesitation. Only the internet (or rather, lack of any internet) would give me pause.
