We still have enough land that living in a rural setting is an option for many people. That's a good thing. What is not good is the many urban and dense suburban areas designed according to the interests of people who visit in cars, rather than those of people who live there.

I really hope that you walk your 11 acres rather than driving around in one of those militarized-golf-cart abominations. Your knees will just get worse if you never walk around.
