i would also imagine its much much more difficult to run away from the cops
Carson Perez
Because living in a city is the closest thing to hell I can imagine
Jaxon Scott
Land is super cheap, no annoying home owners associations or otherwise trying to tell me what I can and can't do with my land, the fact you can see stars, and a looser regulation of laws...
Jaxon Carter
in what way? most cities are empty at night and they have alleyways for dem revs
its all grid formation so very difficult to get lost and very easy to cruise
the parking garages are all underground and nondescript like a batcave entrance
also in big cities you can really let your car fall into total disrepair and most of the time cops couldnt care less since its not that uncommon
also in my experience gas is only 2-3 cents more expensive
Easton Moore
More like 30 cents more expensive
Brayden Gonzalez
First off give me a reason to live in the city.
Second I like having my own space.
Third yes land was cheaper, I had a 4 bedroom 3 bath house built for 115000 American pesos 3 years ago.
I have a two car garage attached to the house. And a 4 car "garage", really it's a barn but it's heated and has floors.
Owen Jenkins
Because it's cheaper, and i'm an anti social autist anyway, so the fewer people who live around me the better.
Levi Reed
I don't need to run from cops out here. Mostly because they don't patrol this area.
Nathaniel Green
because traffic is some peoples worst nightmare and your momma likes city boy dik
Matthew Scott
There is no cops. You can speed around the tougay and no one gives a fuck
Andrew King
Cause I can dd any vehicle wuth any modifications and never get pulled over
Parker Gray
i have spent WAY WAY less than that renting an apartment in the city for the last 4 years and my place is 1200sq/ft
to rent additional parking spaces is usually around $75 a month
if you need to weld its best to have a storage unit nearby (haggard garage style) those are like $200-$400 a month
just because there are more people in the city doesnt always mean mroe human interaction, in fact here you could never leave your room and have literally everything dropped ooff at your door
same rings true of the hood, where you can do donuts in an intersection if you wanted to
Ryder Mitchell
Shitty air Shitty traffic Shitty people Shitty cops Shitty roads Shitty bylaws Everything is expensive Niggers Spics Lack of trees and grass No yard No privacy

Jose Murphy
i live in the city and have to rent a garage on top of paying for parking for my collection
theft and vandalism is a reality and has cost me thousands
i plan on moving to the country eventually but i want to buy land so i need 50% down and i'm still saving.. the h/o/bbies don't help, either
Hudson Butler
House on 3 acres. Mowing sucks, but I have a football field up front and a football field out back to enjoy
Quiet. Really quiet. Wildlife (deer, coyotes, bobcats, hawks, etc) Privacy. I can walk naked on my back deck. Lower taxes I have my own well, septic, heat, etc I know all my neighbors, but we all mind out own business
Still have 50 meg internet, cable, etc and it's only 6 miles to town.
Jordan Fisher
The real question is why would you want to live in a city? >$3000/month for your 800sq ft 1 bedroom >$1000/month for your parking spot >have to work all the time so there's no time to drive >can't ever go faster than 35mph in the city without risk >grid formation so you can only ever drive straight lines >always traffic
Tyler Jenkins
>why do you guys live out in the sticks? You don't need to be out in the sticks, just a cozy suburb. I live 15 mins from the second most populated city in NY yet have 15 acres and few neighbors. There's a horse farm across the street and a private air strip down the road.
>i know living in the city with a car hobby can require more resorces but it has its own benifits I'll never understand why anyone would want to live in a city. Everything is expensive as fuck, it's loud, noisy, no where to park, sucks to drive, just awful.
>as it simply because your allowed to store as many cars as you want outside? Unless you wayyyy out in the sticks most counties do have laws regarding unregistered vehicles. But as long as your house doesn't look like a junkyard, no one cares. Every other house around here has a car or two on the property with no plates. I admittedly have way too many but try to keep them organized at least.
>was land cheaper? Of course.
>arnt you worried about mice and shit eating up the interior of cars you dnt drive that often Mice can get into any car (or anything for that matter) anywhere. I fucking hate mice.
Isaac Gutierrez
Easier.
Rate arnt. Problematic in aus its mainly spiders and wasps.
Roads are more fun but lack of straights suck because I live on a mountain.
Comfyside life is the way to go I hated living in the city
Ryder Wilson
I don't like cities. I didn't want an enormous commute either though (workplace is outside the city at least), so I live in a rural suburb. It's about as far out as I can go before having a sewer hookup is described as a feature.
It's very quiet, I have plenty of space (enough to build another garage at least), and my neighbors are all nice and don't bother me. And I'd rather own a house than pay rent.
Ryan Wilson
because cities are a fucking cancer. the people are completely different, there's almost zero freedom, it's noisy as fuck, you literally live 2ft from your neighbours, absolutely zero privacy. you also don't have to deal with bull shit city bylaws or HOAs
The main difference between living in a city and living in the country
City: >Cough >Neighbor calls the cops to complain about the noise
Country: >Cough >Doggo looks slightly offended that you woke him up, demands you pet him now

>why do you guys live out in the sticks? I was brought up here and haven't moved yet, but it's nice as fuck tbqh.
Land is cheap as shit, my driveway is fuggin yuge, the air is fresher than a Black Ice tree, there's some great 2ghey routes in the nearby mountains, and best of all there's a 1000+ yard gun range two miles from my house which has no annoying rules and is almost always deserted. Shit's fantastic. Of course the downside is that I live in NY but I wanna move to PA eventually.
All the cities in the US that I've visited have been straight shit, and NYC is an extremely expensive hellhole that I avoid whenever possible.
I did like London and Paris, but while my grandparents have tried to get me to move in with them in South London, there's really nothing for me to do there. Not nearly as many guns, either.
where you at nigga? IIRC Buffalo's the second most populous city but there's a bunch of """""towns""""" that have more people in them
Jaxon Wood
It's cheap and I don't have to deal with other people's bullshit
Connor Jenkins
Part of the territory. You have to find a way to get along with your neighbors. Calling the police, filing a report with the HOA, writing a letter to the editor, suing them, or other passive aggressive shit isn't an option. You have to talk to them. Most people are reasonable.
But yeah, many of my neighbors love to target practice on Sunday morning before heading out to church. As annoying as the 'pop pop pop' can be, it's a small price to pay for quiet the other 167 hours per week.
My neighbor was out with his quads in his harvested field this week, right next to my house. After an hour of the racket I just went out and explained my point and asked them to take it back to the other side of the field. They were OK with it and we all got along OK.
Colton Gray
more accurately: >Bubba decides to start doing backyard shotgun practice at 3am >the whole hood decides to start shooting shit >cops don't give a shit
someone in my area probably has an unregistered machine gun, I've heard some pretty wicked reports.
Daniel Young
Suburbs are best, IMO. No shitty city traffic, no nazi neighbours, stuff's close by, and you can get to the city whenever you want for a day trip. And the rest of the country's only a drive away.
Nicholas Sanchez

Ya, Buffalo only has around 250k people, but including the suburbs it's well over a million. I live north of the city.
It's nice having woods you can use as a shitbox depository for you and your friends cars.

the suburbs is the best of both world really

Rural area's have all of that except public transport which doesn't matter because we get drunk in out back yard by the bonfire rather than in some rinky dink club.

how far are you from let's say a bowling alley a karting track a night club a paintball terrain and a bar because i have all this in the 20 minutes range nearest air port is at 30 min nearest train station is at 10 min on foot i don't know what you call a rural area but when i was in a rural area past 21 h the town was dead you could take a nap in the middle of the road without anything happening

How many times have you visited those in the last month? Also, I'm in the suburbs and could get to all of those in 20 minutes' drive. But the paintball is slightly further away in the town, so that's more like an hour's drive because the average speed over those extra two miles is like 5MPH.
> Not powering it with your car's exhaust so you can do both at once
Camden Edwards
Most rural towns have bowling alleys and clubs. Not all of them have Go kart tracks and stuff but it's not very hard to drive to the next town over when traffic isn't a thing. I live in the mountains and the drive to the next town is part of the fun. Especially in the fall. I usually try and make a trip of things while I'm at it. Stop by and check out the cave systems and climb up the mountain to see the view. Autumn is easily the best time of year for these things.
Who the hell goes to a nightclub when you can take a boat out on the Lake all night anyway?

Jacob Jones
As an automotive enthusiast, it sucks absolute dick to live in a city, before I moved back home, I live in Manhattan and loved everything about it other than public transportation, homeless people, and lack of personal space. Everything else made it worth it tho. If I had the dosh I'd move back and own a nice lil car that I'd take out for a spirited drive in Upstate NY or Connecticut.
That being said living on the country side is comfy but gets boring REAL quick. I've lived in rural Ohio for bit it was alright. Sure some of you are used to that lifestyle and love it but it's not for me.
Anyway Connecticut suburbs are good enough for me now, Im thinking about moving to Commiefornia bc weather and Im tired of the cold/snow. Niggas weren't built for this WE WUZ VIKANGZ N SHIET type weather.

compared to when i lived out in the mountains i had literally endless amount empty roads straight out my front door, zero police, could do whatever the fuck i wanted... only problem being nearest petrol station was 45 minutes away.

The artist's name is Simon Stalenhag if you want to look him up. Great artist, draws lots of stuff involving 80's and 90's cars and people in a world with some sort of unexplained backstory that led to crazy technological advances and organic mutation. There's definitely a sort of lore that shows up in most of the images (like the VR headsets in this one) but you'd be hard pressed to find any actual story.
Guy really likes Volvos, apparently, as they're in 80% of the Europe oriented pieces- then again, he is Swedish. Even the paintings of America are detailed as shit. though.

i pay 1$ per sq ft and no yard maintinence and a garage spot is 75 per mo also i have tons of privacy on the top floor and taxes are always lower in the city due to higher population

I live in a city right now and it's hell. When I'm done with school it's my goal to go out and live in the sticks, the only question is if I'll be able to find work close enough.
Evan Flores
>>find work close enough >not farming for food and selling produce for gas and parts
Jacob Robinson
One last one, then.
Dominic Green
taxes in the city are cheaper
buildings are often made out of cement so that means you cant hear the people around you
most all apartment buildings have a secure parking garage and an overabundance of spots because most city dwellers dont own a car
often you can save money by commuting to work and insuring your car the minimum amount of miles to drive
just imagine if you could walk to do most errands including going to work
then imagine that because of that you can now own 5 miatas and just choose to insure one for the road
if there arnt garage spots ustoreit places always have space
the cops dont bother you in the city because they are busy catching drug dealers and harrassing minorities
because of how many cars there are its literally impossible to effectively use radar and most cities could never afford to issue every cop a laser gun
because of how many districts there may be in a city if you had to run from the cops its harder for them to communicate cross PD
there are also more car shows in the city
the cost of living in the city isnt that much if you use your brain and stay froogle
Gabriel Wilson
Nigger I was raised in fucking Westchester County New York do you think I know how to fucking farm for food?

You put things in the ground.
Wait a while.
Take things out of the ground.
Wash them off if you're feeling ambitious.
Set up a few pallets to make a rough table, put prices on the things you pulled out of the ground, make sure you write "organic" in big letters, set out a cash box, and reap the rewards of your arduous labor.
Source: Neighbor sells organic eggs for $6/dozen. Sets out a bunch of eggs in a cooler and a box for cash next to it, has a "Organic Eggs $6/dozen" sign next to it. Seems to do pretty well.
Nolan Green
sticks have higher taxes and larger properties which means you WILL always pay more over the coarse of your life
also most apartments dont charge for heat, water, trash disposal, gas, and sometimes electric
Eli Garcia
By yard, a lot of us mean a 1/4 acre minimum.
Few things I like about living in the bush;
When I'm done with what I'm doing, I walk about fifteen minutes to this nice creek and smash bongs. Nobody but you and the wife (sometimes), the birds and insects, cooked off your head in a creek.
When I'm bored (and cooked) sometimes I start up various engines I have and play with them because it's fun. Can you start industrial diesel engines in your garage at 3:00am without getting shot? No-one around me for thirty acres in either direction to give a single toss. Sometimes I do burnouts or launches or what have you. We had a few mates around and always wanted a convertible so we used the backhoe to tear off the roof of a Gemini and drove that around until we rolled it over on a ramp and set it on fire. It was a good day.
Sometimes I get on the cook and drive around on my tractor or dozer high as a kite. Some days it's practical and I'm slashing or ploughing, other times I'm cooked listening to music and driving around on my tractor or dozer. Shit's good.
I like to get on the cook. Grow and consume my own. Shit's good.
I haven't heard the neighbor's phone ring, or them arguing, or them taking a shit for a long time. I don't get bumped into or cut off, I never have anyone at the door uninvited whether they be promo guys/girls or bible bashers or whatever.
Someone had a home invasion in our area in August of 2004. Das it, for over a decade. The biggest known criminal in our area is probably me.
When there is an emergency like our area getting flooded in the community comes together really well. We all sit and drink beer and cook up a communal feed while we watch the floodwaters drop. The boss (if you have one) isn't kicking your arse for not being at work as he's on the beers next to you, watching the floodwater drop.
It isn't for everyone, but the city is not for me. Been there, done that, now I smoke billies and destroy things in the bush.
Anthony Taylor

The Catskills are beautiful in the fall, and a lot of the roads there are too. NY's political situation is complete shit but I still love it here
Blake Morales
>not knowing what the internet is >not just putting some fucking potatoes in the ground
Christian Watson
>taxes in the city are cheaper >most all apartment buildings have a secure parking garage and an overabundance of spots
You conveniently forget that for the cost of just one of those secure parking garage spots you could pay those rural taxes 10 times over. For what it would cost to park your 5 miatas in the city you could buy an entire house in the sticks every month. The reason there's an overabundance of spots is because most people can't fucking afford them.
Also >often you can save money by commuting to work and insuring your car the minimum amount of miles to drive >just imagine if you could walk to do most errands including going to work
So basically you're saying the best part of having a car in the city is that you'll never actually drive it? Wow, great, sign me the fuck up.
Jacob Murphy
I guess. I prefer the sticks myself. out in the sticks I can shoot guns blow shit up and generally do whatever the fuck I want and no one cares. Think it comes to personal preference. That is more important to me than paying more money in taxes.
Austin Stewart
>sticks have higher taxes and larger properties which means you WILL always pay more over the coarse of your life

Renting an apartment is like throwing money into a fire, same as leasing a car.
Jonathan Gomez
>was land cheaper? yes. I live on a river about an hour outside the city. The equivalent house near the city (not in it) is about 2 to 3 million.

Mice are taken of by snakes and chickens.
Nathaniel Thompson
>Bowling >Karting >Paintball >Bar
Most small towns have bar's and bowling alleys. If you have property you can have endless paintball fun with friends on it. You could make a dirt track if you had enough space and race beaters instead of go karts. The city is good for some things, but If its leisure activities they are not even close.

Thomas Myers
This. I've lived in the heart of Phoenix, LA, LV, Seattle & DFW. I've lived on the edge of major metros' (all above and more) and I've lived in the sticks (dirt road, can't see your nearest neighbors house, no sound but a breeze). I'll take sticks any day. Has nothing to do with number of rigs - I have my daily truck, work truck, wifes car, daughters car and my toy. I don't want more, don't need more (each serve a purpose). I simply don't like humans. We're a disgusting, noisy, inconsiderate and selfish species. If I choose to walk to my shop butt naked, I can. If I want to have a bonfire, I can. If I want to lob off a hundred rounds in my back yard, I can. I can put my foot through the floorboard and tear-ass at 120+ down my road and never worry about running someone over or getting a ticket. I can wrench and weld and bang on shit at all hours and never worry about hurting my neighbors feelings cause I disturbed their beauty sleep. I live in a town where we tell you like we see it, and no one gets pissy or butthurt. Freedom. Period. I have the education and means to earn triple my salary in the city. I'll take earning less to have (in my opinion) more. To each their own. If the city is your thing, more power to you - it's just not my cup of tea.
