I have lived in a small town. They can be kind of weird. I’ve thought of retiring to SSI on more than one occasion, and I still might. However I think I prefer the anonymity of a small city. Part of what I don’t like about small town stuff is everyone knows tens things about you (that aren’t true). Bigger towns allow different types to grow. I can make a great argument how our buddy Eric would have had a better life in a bigger pond.

By the way...small city as in 300,000-500,000 people. Just large enough to hide. Tough to build beautiful buildings in a town of 20,000. The range of incomes won’t allow it. Big enough for some concerts etc. but small enough that rush hours add 10-15 minutes of extra commute time only.

Time to learn how to grow crops. Time to start using your hands. Time to buy a house with a backyard. Time to get back to basics.

The first sentence is a good read. It sums up our problems. The rest of the article explains the fiasco.
