re: Baffled as to how single people afford houses currently

Pediatricians and emergency rooms are the big ones for me.

Have you ever lived in a really rural area with your children?

No kids here. Considerations for me to be mindful of?

She's gonna tell you:
- Schools are worse
- Kids activities will keep you on the road alot longer
- Takes forever to get where you need to go
- Shopping, food, nothing is convenient anymore
- may not escape the poverty/crime of the city

While those may be some of the cons, it just depends on where you look. I would say move "country close"...look for land / homes just past the last heavily developed exit of the interstate / big highway
- I found a place that was just another 10 minutes out and I can shoot, ride ATV's, whatever with no-one breathing down my neck. I have teenagers and they don't mind it.

I could never live in suburbia again.
