I live in a small town. Same. I'm not going to lie, there's a couple events I look forward to, but it's still very limited. (And woe be to you if you're niche in a way that's more of a lifestyle than a hobby. The gay scene is going to be small and mostly closeted)
TBF if you have aggressively common tastes you wouldn't miss anything in a small town, and the property prices are lower. If you're farming or something like that you just get used to driving to the nearest city and town for literally everything, and bear the expense and inconvenience of it. AFAIK if you're a fur trapper in the bush you're a fur trapper in the bush and that's it.
Basically, there's a reason cities grew up in the first place.
Shoot, I did do a ninja edit to "property prices". Maybe you loaded it first.
The grocery prices are madness, and my local place was selling almost-rotten produce until recently. Gas can be cheaper or more expensive depending on other factors. It's still so much more expensive in the city; I know because I desperately want to move and keep track.
Yeah, Banff or Canmore would not be cheap. If you're in the depressing middle of nowhere the story changes.
Yep, no car is what makes the math work even with roomates, haha.
