Sounds like a myopic remark from some ignorant country bumpkin who is at best an apologist for (and at worst a supporter of) “small gub’mint” stripping civil rights, making it harder to vote, legislating women’s bodies, harassing BIPOC, and trying to eliminate trans people. 🖕
I’m not sure how to address you, but your comment is willfully ignorant. Fuck trump, fuck the Republican party, fuck the Democratic party.
All people deserve a place to call home where they can live peacefully and can enjoy the fruit of their labor. Policies for the cities don’t always work in rural settings, not everyone lives in New York or LA. As evident by this comment section, city folk look down on country folk and have for millennia. Just because I’m rural does not make me have southern values left over because some racist assholes lost their rebellion.
Go live in your city, or your small town or I’m the woods. Don’t look down on others who are different or want to live in a different place.
We have nature in the cities. Or I could drive 45 minutes and be in nature, I don’t need to live in some rundown crack village with a bunch of alcoholics and backwards KKK people to experience nature.

Even if you didn’t mean it that way, that seems to be how people are taking it. You’re right tho, people who can’t entertain themselves outside are boring…
Rural towns are boring.
Sounds like a classist remark from some ignorant city dweller that cheats rural workers out of fruits of their labor.
If you want people to live in your boring rural towns, you have to compensate them better.
…and really good high speed Internet!
Really good, reliable, high speed internet.
I live in a rural town… there’s nothing to do.
Oh. Yeah its quiet. Its amazing. Sorry if you’re stuck moving is expensive.

The town? Yes, they’re usually pretty boring.
But if you can’t find something to do out in nature then I’d argue it is you who is the boring one.
Then again, I like boring so YMMV

With all due respect to the pigeons, rats, and carefully manicured parks: No, you don’t.
If you did people wouldn’t call 911 during a blackout because they finally see the stars.
There’s your problem, you’re living in the town instead of way outside it.
Such ignorance and bitterness.
Truth hurts, doesn’t it?
Your narrow world-view and limited life experience doesn’t hurt me, but it can hurt you if you don’t branch out a little.

Why would they care what’s going on in the town if they’re terminally online and never leave their house?
