    The rural community consisted of farms spread out miles apart in various directions across hilly terrain.

      I mean, was this the situation before cars? I fail to imagine a person living miles from the next human being without a car.

      Cars made rural communities dependant on them. It’s not a fatality.

        Yes lmao. My grandparents didn’t get a road until like 2010. And that “road” is a dirt road the county grades once a year and is about 1 mile from their house.

        Rural America is incredibly rural. I just checked, their county (an unincorporated county at that) has a density of 14 people per square mile.

      Shut the fuck up. Does not require cars. Nothing, with the possible exception of nascar, requires cars.

      Different, maybe, but not require cars. Stop lying you car brain shit stick.

      Does it need to be that way? Wouldn’t it be better to care for the farms as a community in the first place?
