hayward Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Well they didn't stay in urban areas east of here. They've totally fucked up our rural setting and made it un-affordable to buy anything here and pay the school taxes on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted March 2, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted March 2, 2022 lot of kids I went to school with ended up moving to big cities or suburb areas so I can see that being true. 1 hour ago, SkisNH said: NH housing prices have soared as people left their shitty high tax congested states during covid.... It’s great isn’t it we’ll at least if you’re a home owner. We built in the late summer of 2020 and our house has gone up 45-55% according to the Zillow estimate craziness.

racer254 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 The great reset. The liberals want everyone concentrated in the cities and to rely on public transportation. Rural people are multiple times less reliant on government, and the elite liberals do not want independence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If you read the title or article it says over the last decade 2010-2020. I'm guessing 2021 is when a lot of the new "rural residents" officially moved in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many of those that bought in rural areas kept their homes in the cities and will end up back there once things return to normal because they are truly not built for rural life IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all the green around Minneapolis, St Paul, and St Cloud. We were ahead of the curve and got out back in 2013. Got a few acres, newer house, and a big shop for a very reasonable price. Even back then it took a year of looking to find what we wanted. Nowadays you get a small older house for $500k on a few acres. Houses in town for an average home are over $250k. Good schools and run fiber to all the houses and watch the people flee the big cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a bigger adjustment for the women as their shopping options can be slim in rural areas. This isn't the 1980s, everyone orders stuff online now. Malls and retail, even in the big cities, are dying. Places like Walmart, Target, Fleetfarm, Menards, Home Depot, etc. are in almost every major outstate city here in Minnesota. My wife likes shoes. Every few months a pile of shoe boxes show up on our doorstep. If they don't work she sends them back with a prepaid shipping label. The tough part is we only have a post office and drop boxes for FedEx and UPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 i would never live more than 15-20 minutes from everything i want or need on a daily basis. end of the day being where there are restauratns shopping, activities not involving the outdoors is more important for many. I could never have lived at my camp year round, nice weekends there was no place better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never have lived at my camp year round, nice weekends there was no place better. We are in a quiet little subdivision that most people don't even know it exists. We are 10 min to a grocery, liquor/beer store, smokeshop, fish n chip joint, post office and Chinese restaurant. If we need anything else were 20-30 min away from 3-4 towns and never any traffic. It's not for everyone but we love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 you guys are missing something here. There comes a point when you get so many people moved into a rural area, that it becomes non-rural anymore. These fucking people that moved into here have brought their city with them, including strip malls, politics, high taxes, high crime, and they're too stupid to realize it. Many that moved here 20+ years ago are always "that's why we moved out here, to get away from all that!". Well no shit? Sucks doesn't it? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
