Having a decent income and wealth makes living on a rural location idyllic. Someone with a low income farming job and an acre in a rural location won't see the exact same house the same way because they will be struggling financially.

Oh, for sure. I lived not too far from where I do now when I was younger and flipped burgers for a living. I had holes in the floor of my trailer where possums would come up at night and raid the cat food.

Still, being able to wake up, walk outside, and take my morning piss off the front porch while watching the sunrise was some compensation. Being out away from everyone is appealing to some people.
