1spliff2guinniesFor some reason my post got cut a bit, my town is about 30k people and everything is within 10 mins drive, plus plenty of places to eat out and shop at if I want to, can't go back to the big smoke life

TheMailManYeah that's not a small town
WittyCongIt's a mixed bag. It's nice not having neighbors, there's not an insane amount of traffic compared to where I grew up, the lifestyle is super laid back and the access to really good skiing/hiking is plentiful up here in northern NY. On the flip side the poverty up here is nuts and the access to quality good paying jobs is few and far between. I basically have to drive over an hour and a half each way to vermont every day just to make a decent wage and even then a lot of my money goes back into gas and maintenance on my car. Where I live it's at least a 20 minute drive to any sort of entertainment and grocery store. Businesses are constantly coming and going because there's no money to sustain their business so we rarely have anything new and when we do it's for a few years at most. There's trade offs to both lifestyles but for me I like living the small town life, it just took some getting used to.
r00kieThe rural poverty thing is real sad. Got a lot of people in my town living out of campers, houses that wouldn’t pass code where I grew etc. The amount of comers and goers is really high too. People show up and then leave at a pretty high turnover.

GayWolf420im scared to visit that place
SmokedGoudaYeah ever since covid, this place has been a mess. Homelessness up the wazoo. Thousands of illegal migrants now being given rental cars. Ive had friends get hit by them while driving. Its a microcosm of every major US city right now. Just a complete shit show.
MaimHelpLived in a town of 1200 my whole life other than my college life. Luckily my college is about half an hour away and I spend most of my time there. Couldn't do a larger town. Even being at school I cannot stand people. Moving to Wyoming in a town with like 15000 people but because it is wyoming I am thinking I'll be ight lol
