      Half of the territory of my school district is rural while the other half is small towns and takes up about 4 towns of kids. Most of the kids were from the small town areas and the rest were from rural. I didn't live in the rural area, so can't attest to 10-acre front yards.

        Rural... hugging the edge of an enormous city, though.

          Then that's not my situation at all. Oh, and we had a graduating class of close to 165ish.

            Like where I'm from, the nearest city was an hour away and not very big.

              So guys - do you feel that rural seems to be pretty poor only?

              I don't. The cost of living is less generally so even if you aren't making as much money goes a bit further.

              I agree with that. I'd rather live in a rural area. I grew up in one, and we weren't poor. I'm not poor now, and I would rather live there. We have a lot of areas that are "rural" but you can get to a large area in less than 20 minutes. I prefer to live in the quiet and then go to the city if I need to.

              I am sorry, but your concept of rural america seems inclusive of most small town america. Small town != rural.

              Yeah, I grew up rural. I love small towns, both in the US and abroad. Small towns and big cities are my favourite places to be. Rural is just empty; and suburbs make me shudder. But rural and small towns are vastly different for sure.

              I wonder if Omaha would just be one huge suburb for you?

                                    I honestly don't care, it just needs to be done. Our incumbents are so incompetent that it's a joke.

                                          If I remember correctly, it's more a public-private partnership, with the government holding most of the decision making. Too be fair, most of Canada is such sparsely populated that getting service to most of the people would necessitate government involvement.

                                            I can understand that. Similar to most of the US too.
