I can't afford the rent of living in the city. I would call an ambulance if i need to go to the hospital it would cost the state like £20 in gasoline that's not a big deal.
How about the cost of maintaining the roads and powerlines and infrastructure to keep people like you living in a place no human should live. Leave the forest to nature.
people have lived where I live for thousands of years. they were still going to need to maintain the roads so people can travel between cities jackass and the local roads are maintained by the local government
what's your issue with people in rural areas did you get everything you know about us from the film deliverance or something. stops in rural areas allow trains to changeover and adds redundancy in the system
Im from bumfuck west virginia, we had to drink untreated ground water, we burned our trash, I was homeschooled for a significant portion of my childhood. Stop romanticising rural living, raising a kid in those conditions is child abuse, that's why I don't think where you live should be a choice. Where I was I couldn't just take a train or a bus or a taxi, you had to own a car or a horse. And the horse thing has to do with the Amish who I hate with a passion and are no different from the Russian kulaks. Confiscate all their land, relocate the hill people to the city.
definitely not true, not generally anyway. the modern, western-dominated form of human civilisation is absolutely harmful to the environment around us, views it as a resource to be exploited rather than a gift to be cherished. but humans haven't been living in such destructive ways for most of history, and there are still hundreds of millions of people around the world living in ways that not only don't harm the natural world, but actually support it in a symbiotic relationship.
this is how indigenous peoples all across the world have lived for thousands of years, managing and supporting the environments that in turn support them in a sustainable and stable way, and it's why indigenous rights to exist and maintain their ways of life are wrapped up with ecological issues too. it's why all across the world they're the ones getting brutalised and killed by extractive western industry that encroaches on their land and consumes everything in its path. it is important to not project the flaws of western, capitalist lifestyles on to the whole human species.
It's not just modern western civilization though. Mass extinctions occurred wherever prehistoric humans migrated, and indigenous peoples frequently used slash and burn techniques and other agricultural methods that are definitely not eco-friendly. Obviously their impact still pales in comparison to capitalism, and they had a much more spiritual relationship with nature than us alienated proles, but humans are still an invasive species in general.

I live rural and I bike and walk frankly the only issue with it is the way people drive in rural areas.

TRAINS. Why should we make them stop for rural backwaters? Just move, it's the state's job to aid you in that.
