Despite patheticly low mortgage rates here, a farmer can't recover the payments on land with his operations. Not at a million CDN for 100 acres! Then figure in volitile commodity prices.

The rich want it all and has been squeezing people out of their land. I live in Eastern Canada and there has been alot of people from Toronto and other North American cities sell their place and move here where it is cheeper. GD government crooks shouldn't be allowed and they won't stop until there is civil unrest.

Boy, I feel lucky. I moved to my current location about two years ago after buying the property a year before that. Virtually all of my neighbors have been here for decades, and some for their entire lives. My neighbors started to trickle by when I started to build, and they've been uniformly friendly and welcoming. We've had all the fresh garden vegetables that we can eat, which is great, and one neighbor brought a full turkey dinner to my wife and me just out of the blue... no occasion. I couldn't be happier with my little spot out in the woods. I stumbled into a spot where the neighbors will help one another when needed, and otherwise mind their own business. Perfect for me.

We had 3 golf courses in the general area close up in the last 10 years. Makes me sad for the people who paid ridiculous high prices for the lot next to them and then built McMansions and now are living next to a cheap subdivision or a Home Depot.

10-4 Regarding owning a home on a golf course. I did and it worked out but, once they close the course there is really no good way to redevelop the land. I see the drone guys are using an old dead course here.

Yes they do

I bet i've lived in the country and the city, combined, as much or more than most folks here?


Country people also have bad habits, they just grew up with them. I agree, if you move someplace, do as the Romans do or go somewhere else or just mind your own business.

An excellent book called White Trash explains why rural people in the south are the way they are. You take it from there.

Funny how it's ok to generalize about city people, those SOBs, in a way that, f applied to fat, addicted, uneducated common Americans it would be called Culture Shaming.

The world, both city and country, is full of wonderful people, the rest are a holes!

Again, imho, when in Rome.

I like your area. I have taken rt70 up the mountain a few times when I40 was backed up.

I bet if I take a swath of 100,000 city people and a swath of 100,000 country people I would find less crime, less divorce, less sin, less abortion, less godlessness, less government handouts and less unemployment with the country folks than the city folks.
Now before anyone gets any ideas, I didnt say there would be NO problems with country people, just LESS and probably a LOT less.

And as far as when in Rome the problem is they dont change when they move out here. Most, not all, bring their city slicker garbage out here and start making trouble. Very few country people move to the city.
That tells you a lot in itself. People dont want to live in piles of trash, rats, graffiti, corruption and crime. I worked in downtown Philadelphia after college for a few years. It never felt safe. Many of my office co workers were mugged. One was raped. It took courage to turn my back on my college degree and career, but the job wasn’t worth my life. I have been working in the country for 35 years and wouldnt move to a city for 3 times the money.

^^^^^^^^^^^^You are spot on Hay Dude!

I agree with every word. Only one *. I love to go to the city (Houston is my hometown after all) as long as I don't have to stay there and can leave when I want to.

Cities are great places to visit. I worked in Memphis for 8 years after college. I commuted for those years until I was able to get a good job in my home town. Now I am five minutes from work and live in a family friendly town. I did take a pay cut to leave my city job but over twenty years later I don’t have any regrets.

And......

That pay cut is usually minimized by a much more budget friendly cost of living

The place I lived never changed. The cost of gas and vehicle wear and tear almost equaled the pay cut. The big thing was the two hours I gained not driving.
