Default LATB...got some potential bad news for you....

Here’s why living in the country may actually hurt your mental health
https://studyfinds.org/living-in-country-mental-health/

Quote:
Their study finds that Americans who live in rural areas tend to be more anxious and depressed, less open-minded, and more neurotic. Additionally, people living “in the country” displayed lower levels of life satisfaction and less purpose, or meaning in life, than those living in urban areas.

Bunch of liberal poppycock.
John Anderer, the author, is probably a degenerate homosexual who drinks wine coolers and has never spent one hour on a farm or in the woods. Likely doesn’t own a gun or a Bible. I bet he’s never been on a horse, a motorcycle, or a tractor. You know he’s never gut a deer or filleted a fish. Probably not comfortable around animals or women who wear camo.

This is funnah. An organization that represents mental health services creates and executes a study that finds more mental health services are needed in rural areas. ****ing genius I say!

Definitely a bogus study. I moved from living in Atlanta for 32 years back to rural south Georgia last year and I couldn't be happier. Hell, just not having to deal with Atlanta traffic every day makes me the happiest person in Georgia.

I'm going to go with he is a Vegan Pilgarlic who wears cloth baseball caps with vegtables embroidered on them, has the remains of his hipster beard trimmed to look like a dadbro beard now wearing factory torn jeans, carrying a MAC laptop and wearing a flannel shirt that's never been worn outside a campus or coffee shop. His pronoun is "Latte" and he prefers Glutin-free, non flour macarons made by elves who live in sacred trees in Atlanta. He's engaged to a morbidly obese rish woman who is only 11 years into completing her 4 year degree while wearing moo moos and demanding respect. Her pronoun is "Manatee", but she thinks that's a French term for "Powerful Woman With Wolves On Her Tee Shirts".

Crap, I gotta stop looking out the front window....

Of course, the lack of Drag Queen shows, violent crime, people living on top of one another and of course the deadly cooking on gas stoves are recopies for neurosis.

The author is a paid-for putz, always good to be on the opposing side of such putzes.

The author sounds like a liberal cuck who would love living locked down in a 15 minute city. He's simply jealous of those who don't live in a filthy ant colony like those of his ilk. I live in the country, but still have to travel into the city for doctor's appointments once or twice a year. Back in my old stomping grounds. Every time I have to do it, it sets my teeth on edge. The crowding, the noise, the filth, the lack of manners, and the ever-present construction. I don't know how I ever did it before. I get back home and breathe a sigh of relief that I no longer have to live like that.

This ^^^ exactly.

I go to the beach occasionally for business or a necessary service provider and it sucks.

Destin used to be a very laid back white bread little beach town. Now there are minorities and other undesirables everywhere. Non stop highway, condo and apartment construction.

Of course all the fault of the government and community "leadership".
And the Tourist Development Council is sitting on 600M in cash they collected from bed taxes. At this point is there really a need for "tourist development"? Holy crap the place is bumper to bumper with idiots.

Why anyone would spend millions to live in that tourist trap chithole is beyond me. We should have left years ago.

This is how I feel about the whole state. Our sleepy farming town has gone from 3100 people to almost 40K. Every single undeveloped place is gone, yet the "City Leaders" can't stop pushing to build more. Now it's "Afforadable Housing" (Ghetto Apartments). There's no jobs here, just houses. Who needs afforadable housing 20 miles from work? NOBODY. I found that 90% of the politicians and council members for the country are actually...REALTORS. SURPRISE!!!!

I also noticed that one section of town has no affordable housing,has big lots and big houses. It's also where every last one of the realtors and other politicians live. Thinking maybe I should become a realtor and work on bringing afforadable housing to that part of town....

Our rural florida property is 5 miles from the Alabama line. God's country. More cows than people. Literally.

What a crock of crap, my city life and surrounding areas were full of anxiety, traffic, and loads of stupid people. Now I live in a farming region, I love it, removed from the crowds, open air, no traffic, it don't get no better for me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Montana farm communities probably don't have drag queen story time in their rural schools. Just a hunch.

Local school here has a “in God We Trust” banner on the building.

Yeah, he is a never-trumper who doesn't like the Trumpster. But he'll vote for him if he gets the nomination. They all will.
