What, people who live in cities don't have freedom? And the user you replied to wasn't talking about space available like in a truly rural setting, they were talking about how it's impossible to live in a suburban or rural setting without centering your life around the car you drive.

Cities offer more choices, rural areas offer more freedom

Really? Have you tried wearing drag in a rural area?

Have you tried plinking cans in your backyard, or cleaning a deer, in a city?

That's a very specific case. Plinking cans would be illegal around here, except in a shooting range.

As for deer, does boar count? If so, then definitively.

I don't know where "here" is. But drag is a very specific case, too.

I assure you that you won't be arrested for wearing drag in rural Pennsylvania, you will however be arrested in Philadelphia if you start a bonfire or ride a dirtbike in your backyard.

I don't know if I've ever seen "choices" and "freedom" framed as in opposition. And I don't see how having to pour money into a fossil fuel powered cage and having to keep your kids inside like this post talks about is helping in the directive of freedom.
