Nope. It's semi-rural around here, of course, but not the real rural

Maryland wasn't really the country when I lived there and it got more
gentrified in the intervening 33 years. Even St Marys county, about as
rural as it gets is still starting to look like a suburb of DC. The
exception might be in the core of the Eastern shore, back away from
either coast but that is s skinny chunk of real estate.
Harry may not even understand what I am talking about, being a
Connecticut yankee who spent a little time in a Kansas college town.


Once again, your blinders are showing.

When I lived in New Haven, much of Connecticut was rural. In fact, one
of the girls I dated in high school was the daughter of a fellow who ran
a large and successful truck farm and poultry enterprise just north of
the New Haven city limits. There were dozens of small farms in the
greater New Haven area.

Where I lived in Kansas was rural and later when I worked for The Star,
I was regularly getting myself assigned to agricultural stories, and
these usually were "way out there" in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

Virtually every time you posit your thoughts about what I am
thinking...you are wrong.

I only reflect the thoughts you write. Whenever a conversation of a
rural area comes up, you **** on it. Didn't you just say you would be
willing to lose everything south of DC except a few areas that are
basically extensions of northeastern cities?
