Absolutely the truth there. Actual rural living is like my friends who live in a town of 800 people. That's true rural living, and they love it. It sounds absolutely soul-sucking to me, but they like the quiet simple life, so be it.
You're right, most Americans think they want the rural life, but feel more at home in the city. Those are the ones I get annoyed with easily, because why not just admit you like the conveniences of a city?
Just had to throw that in because I just eye roll so hard whenever I see someone proving how country they are by pulling out a massive 8 year car loan to own an 80-100k truck while making a very modest salary. (Then of course drive it from the burbs every day to a parking lot, squeeze it in, then do low level accounting or something)
