I grew up in rural PA. I'm not city folk, I chopped wood and raised livestock. I walked though the woods with my dog after school every day. I got third place in the county youth skeet shooting competition when I was 14. Half my friends were Pennsylvania Dutch. I live close enough to NY and Philly to have spent a lot of time there. I live in the suburbs now but I'm moving out as fast as I can now that my career is established and I can work remotely.
It's ok if you like living in a city, I'm not stopping you but it isn't for me.
It's just dishonest for you to pretend like cities are the source of problems, and not -people-. I'm assuming your village never had any issues with elders being bigoted or sexually exploitative? Cities are no less pious than the country to me.
What I find interesting is that you're in the suburbs: the worst of both worlds. Suburbs were truly designed by a demon, in my mind.
Let's say 1% of people are antisocial assholes, in a city that's tens of assholes within a 5 minute walk from your door. In a rural area that's less than 1 asshole per ten square miles.
In a rural area if your neighbor likes loud drum and bass music, you learn that if he invites you over. In NYC, you learn that your neighbor is a chain smoker as you are moving in.
Rural areas limit both total assholes in a area and the asshole blast radius.
As for the suburbs, I only moved here to work. Thanks to Covid I now have a choice where I live and I prefer the countryside.
Frankly you should be happy people want to live in the middle of nowhere, rents are high as it is.
It's already started and I hate it.
I can promise you that you'll find antisocial behaviors in rural America.
This attitude about rural life coming from city folk is almost infantilizing. Noble savages, the farmers are in your eyes.
