In many places, country living has been enjoying a renewed appeal in recent years, and that might be a lingering after-effect of the pandemic. For example, a few years ago, about half of Americans (48%) told Gallup that if able to live anywhere they wished, they would choose a town (17%) or rural area (31%) rather than a city or suburb.
This is an increase from 2018, when 39% thought a town or rural area would be ideal.
The rise has been accompanied by a decline in those preferring to live in a suburb, down six percentage points to 25%. The percentage favoring cities has been steadier, with 27% at the time of the survey — close to the 29% in 2018 — saying they would prefer living in a big (11%) or small (16%) city.

Had a lady here move next door to the church. Complained about the singing and bells 🙄
These attitudes are similar to those recorded in October 2001, the only other time Gallup has asked Americans this question.
That reading, like the recent one but unlike the 2018 one, was taken during a time of great national upheaval — shortly after 9/11, when the public was still on edge about the potential for more terrorism occurring in densely populated areas.
Overall, slim majorities of Americans in cities and suburbs aspire to live elsewhere, whereas three in four town/rural residents are content where they are.
For instance, just under half of those who live in a city (47%) would prefer staying there, while 30% would opt for a town or rural area and 22% a suburb. Similarly, 48% of current suburban residents favor suburban living, while 30% would rather go to a town/rural area and 22% a city.
But the 2001 results found residents of each type of community more content where they were than is seen today. The slight majority of city residents in 2001 (53%) said they would prefer living in a city, and 67% of suburban residents preferred to remain there. However, 86% of town/rural residents favored living in those areas.

A recent analysis of Census data by Hamilton Lombard, a demographer at the University of Virginia, discovered that 63% of rural counties or counties in small metros experienced increases in their populations of 25- to 44-year-olds between 2020 and 2023, compared to 27% between 2010 and 2013.
Northern Georgia, the Mountain West, and New England were rural regions with particularly strong population growth among young Americans.
Economist Jed Kolko said that, with the proliferation of remote work, Americans moved out of bigger urban areas into nearby suburbs or smaller towns, but added that headwinds in some occupations might slow down the influx of newcomers.
"If unemployment rises, particularly in the kinds of occupations where remote work is more common, employers might be more able to insist on workers spending more days in the office," Kolko explained. "Even if that doesn't cause people to reverse the moves that they made during or after the pandemic, it could still slow down that trend in the future."
Meanwhile, in areas that have seen a rush of new residents, Kolko said it's crucial for housing to keep up with demand. If it doesn't, affordability challenges from big cities could spread, likely reflecting in these memes too.

I have a retractable clothes line. I use it all the time, especially for sheets.

...without using any chemical s**t on them. Just the air and the sun. And basic soap (Marseille). The best smell on Earth.

Had clothes line growing up. Have had my wonderful electric dryers for 43 years and never want a line again, everything is so rough especially towels even with fabric softener.

Can sometimes be because of the fabric softener... though you have a point. I have found that shoving a towel in a dryer for about 10-20 minutes is usually enough to soften it, you can still line-dry it and it retains that softness. Saving money overall. I do that with anything I want softer. In the summer anyway, in the winter I have a pod dryer that also heats a room!!

With us, the posts were original. It was the lines that had to be replaced occasionally.

A few decades ago my mother hung our clothes out to dry. They never smelled fresher. Now the same town bans hanging clothes out. Can anyone explain why? I can't.
Bi.Felicia 1 year ago
Probably due to some jerks complaining about seeing someone's undergarments, or they think it's an eyesore, maybe some got theirs stolen? Idk but that's about all I can think of and they're all stupid reasons to ban a clothes line.

Apparently they have to remind people what farms are for. Recently I read about a 20-something woman who asked why we need farms. She thinks farmers should just go to the grocery store. 🙄 Even just remembering this makes my brain hurt. Sheesh.

I had a piano trio backing up a female singer for a jazz lounge act. One day the police showed up at our rehearsal. The neighbor lady with the four bratty kids was totally stressed out. She called the cops not because we were loud, but because she did not like the tune we were practicing.

Owning lifestock means, they plan your day. Feeding, grooming, mucking, fencing and the not-so-occasional boo-boo because the horses miss their vet. Enough hustle and bustle for me
