Would you move to a remote place?

453 sats \ 14 comments \ @Bitcoiner1 14 Apr AskSN

I was born in a big city, I've lived in different places around the world.

I had enjoyed living in a place with 300.000 habitants. Now, I'm having a good time in a place with 125.000 people.

My wife want to move to a place with 650 people.

I enjoy adventures and starting from scratch every now and then.

Would you move to a house in the mountains with no neighbors near by?

No way. I need to be around people 33.3%

Yes, I hate people and want to be alone 66.7%

Living in isolated rural areas is not for me. Quality of life goes down. Access to the best food, doctors, dentist, and overall services plummet.

I agree with you. Having a clinic near by is always good.

But, we're planning (or my wife is planning) to live in the remote location for a few years and when we get older we could move near a town or city.

The plan is to save more SATs for few more years...

I was born and raised in a remote place. It's what I'm used to and honestly, I love it.

Try visiting the riverside towns along the Amazon River. I believe you won't regret it.

It's great to be alone and among people whenever you feel like one. I mean it's life. Sometimes you want to spend it alone but most of the times you need to be around people.

I live on the outskirts of a big town 30 minutes away from the district headquarters which have all the amenities.

My house is relatively alone but I'm in India so it's hard to find places without noise, especially in the plains.

By remote if you mean to live in the upper Himalayas or Siberia or Alaska, I doubt people would love to spend even a few days there. I've been to two of them and believe me, life becomes dull there.

Yes but it is nice if the town is a bit bigger so you have all the amenities you need in town.

My preference is smallish rural towns, in beautiful settings. I’d opt for a somewhat larger town than that though.

Was just in the city for the weekend and every time I go I don't know how I ever lived there, I flash back to the dread of those times. It's disgusting, congested, and people detached from nature every day somehow become more animal like under a veneer of domestication.

Going to a small town (under 10k people) every few weeks for supplies is about as much as I can tolerate, and even that I time for efficiency and minimal crowds.

Business travel to cities has its novelties, when I don't have access to my own kitchen a decent restaurant can have nice UX... I enjoy historical sights and architecture... but also in this way places like Manhattan are kind of like a theme park. They only exist as places to go make money so you can afford to live somewhere else.

The sweet spot is somewhere that feels remote but is ~30 minutes from a city.

Yes, that would be a great option, but to find a place in that location most of the time you will need to pay the city price.

I should have a Subway, McDonald's, Starbucks, a big gym, and a bookstore somewhere around me.

I like seen this kind of places, but my reality is that I don't like to consume fast food.

For exercise, I do it in my home.

Bookstore, an ebook reader is the best gadget that I bought some months ago.

Already done.

My village is 1,100 peeps, so I guess your wife wins.

The peace and quiet, the freakin' natural stillness, is worth allll discomfort

Living in a remote area is my favorite way of life. I was born and raised in an remote area of the country. So long as I keep in touch with the people who matters to me.
