Hard mode, don’t mention cars.
I live rural and I bike and walk frankly the only issue with it is the way people drive in rural areas.
I can’t afford the rent of living in the city. I would call an ambulance if i need to go to the hospital it would cost the state like £20 in gasoline that’s not a big deal.
How about the cost of maintaining the roads and powerlines and infrastructure to keep people like you living in a place no human should live. Leave the forest to nature.
