minus-squareMonkeMischief@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-28 months agoExactly. Live in the U.S and just trying to look for a place that puts you in non-car distance to ANYTHING basically shows you one of two options: Quaint small vacation towns that are expensive because they’re full of retirees.
