    What are you smoking lmao, do you seriously think anything below 3 million people is rural?

    rural is when it takes you an hour to reach the nearest grocery store by car.

      That’s not rural, that’s ultra remote wilderness. Like what place doesn’t have a grocery store in a 100km radius? Some place deep in the Australian outback?

        Village of ~10k, nearest grocery store is 25min walk, 10min bike, 5min car.

        There are also three smaller stores a 2 min walk away. Europe for reference

          I sincerely doubt there is a a place in Europe outside of maybe remote Scandinavia or Russia where you can’t get to a grocery store after driving for an hour.

          My definition of rural is a place with some semblance of human habitation that is not urban. A speck of land characterized by villages, farms or forestry. Where you have limited access to the amenities found in cities.

          However, what village does not have a grocery store? Or at least not one in the next bigger village?

          Do you have some examples of villages without a grocery store an hour of driving away?
