Not only that, but how many “rural lifestyle” people are actually living an urban lifestyle from a house in the countryside, enabled by heavily-subsidized roads into the city for all of their daily activities?
That was certainly the case for the county road that my parents lived on for years. They, and their neighbors, would drive into the city every day for work, shopping, entertainment, et cetera. While it was a free county, why should we subsidize that choice?
That triggered the memory of my parents’ friends who live in an exurb some miles away, where residents there post to NextDoor that they saw a bl*ck person in the neighborhood, and where every loud noise is probably gunshots. A plague, indeed.
To be fair, my parents live in an exurb, and nearly every loud noise is a gunshot. Rural people like shooting things, whether it’s coyotes or beer bottles.

This is truly the problem. Just the amount of waste being created by antisocial people who fetishize the idea of “living in the countryside”.
Rural suburbia is a plague.
