One reason for living in the boondocks is simple:
cheap land, housing and low taxes (ususally), but the "finer things in life" come at a distance premium such as cheap broadband and... Garbage collection, in many rural areas, you haul your own trash to the recycling center & dump.

Another downside.. is that your nearest fire dept, ambulance and hospital could be 45+minutes away, so if you have an extreme emergency, you may be SOL.
LOL, I wish broadband penetration was as good as that for trash collection and emergency services. ;)

We have weekly trash pickup on our block, and the nearest fire station is just down the road. But Verizon's too busy deploying fiber to the most affluent communities in the county, and has stopped deploying DSL to anyone here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19054730 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 16:37:05 EDT Re: cheap housing/land http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19053579 Nuts : Garbage, that's what the burn pile is for.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19053579 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 14:03:36 EDT cheap housing/land http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19053215 tmc8080 : One reason for living in the boondocks is simple:
