I live out in the sticks and have plans in five years (once the kid gets through school) to get out into the even stickier sticks. I know in some ways it will make me somewhat car dependent, but my plan is to minimize use of stuff you have to buy so that trips to town are infrequent and efficient. Right now is practice.

The neighborhood I live in is rural zoned with minimum 2 acre lots. Who knows how this will change in 20 years when people stretch away from the cities and create suburbs even further away from their jobs. It's already happening here.
