@Wahine unfortunately small towns are ultimately doomed.
The new world government wants everyone to live in a megapolis
and will soon 10-25 years start cut services to regional areas, increase fuel costs and prohibit on premises renewables.
So my advice is to enjoy it while you can, bcos you'll eventually end up in a chity where bird songs have been replace by police and ambulance sirens,
where the sound of the wind has been replaced by semi trailer pneumatic brakes,
where a breezy large country house, is if you're lucky replaced by a small overpriced (
$600 a week future $120k a week) unit in a non English speaking neighbourhood,
where a nice country drive to the shops is replaced with 24hr gridlock traffic
This was Sydney just last week, it's not a joke it's real you can while your time away looking at your fuel gage reduction while sucking down the CO1 (carbon monoxide).
Oh and to make matters worse the loneliness in the chities is so much worse, bcos you're surrounded by people, all of them avoiding eye contact out of fear and disregard. Hell if you were to fall and be incapacitated they'd just step over you.
