Let's talk about Country Living

I love this thread !
So this land rat spent many a year living in Baltimore city , I now live on a farm in the county but I am only 10 miles from the city line .
I don't miss the vagrants and general noise of the city , when I first moved I could not sleep without the traffic noise , now it's the crickets and frogs that ease me into sleep . Looking back I'm glad I spent the time in the city . But with property costs,beverage taxes,horrible schools ( casinos are going to pay for new ones , yeah right) crime and home invasions up . I don't ever imagine living back in the city . There will be diffrent factors in your area but I have a young one so the school system is the biggest deterrent for me.

P.s. You will need a tractor maybe 2 !
P.s.s never had better neighbors than I do now , last snow fall a neighbor came down our long driveway on his huge tractor and cleared out the entire thing , next door neighbor regularly mows our lawn or the common areas . Which is great because it's not expected or taken for granted . I remember walking home in fells point one night . I could not open my door because a homeless man was asleep on my stoop . I awoke him so I could get in and he reeked of urine . Guess he peed there to keep warm . Never had that problem out here thou
