Walking to places, transit, good restaurants, etc.

I don't have town sewer but I have a septic system (tank and leach field) and that's pretty normal in more rural areas. I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone with a cesspool that needs to be pumped on a regular basis although I'm sure that exists. Septic tanks should get cleaned out now and then too but that's an every few years thing.

I do also pay for trash disposal and some things like that which are paid for by taxes in most cities but that's hardly a problem.
