Here’s my answer: I have no interest in living so far away from a major urban center that I could have 10 acres. I have no interest in doing anything with land, farming, maintenance, whatever.

My life is very simple and I’ve never lived in an apartment bigger than 600 square feet. The idea of 10 acres is insane to me.

What the shit. My carport is close to 680 sq.ft. I’ve lived in places smaller than that when I was young but that was necessity not choice.

I’m in my late 30s and I’ve never even driven a car. What would I do with a carport lol. It’s just a different mindset, I guess. I don’t have a ton of shit and just enjoy the minimal upkeep, simplicity, and other benefits of living in a small urban apartment.
