I couldn't disagree more. My family homesteaded in the very small, very rural town that I was born in (in along with my children and 5 generations before me). Generations before me lived and died there. I wanted to die in there but state politics forced us to move. There is a very real community that is irreplaceable when you and your neighbors have been going to the same church together for generations.Its a big country. Last thing you want to do is to live in the same place all your life. Everyone should experience different parts of our country before deciding where they want to live forever.
Your can be a mile wide and shallow or a mile deep and narrow. In my perfect world we would have stayed a mile deep.
That said I'm glad we moved and I think this move will be good for my grandkids.
