The problem with living on the edge of the countryside is that eventually somebody else builds on the countryside part and you’re just living in another crappy suburb.
My advice in that case is to immediately plant some trees around the perimeter of your property and turn it into a little isolated grove
A man grove, with a man cave.
Exactly, this mindset just creates more suburbs, roads, cars, unwalkable districts, etc.
Houses with gardens are immoral, you should either commit to being a farmer, or live in a flat if you’ve got any sense.
Sweet damn you people must literally be sobbing all the fucking time. Explain to me the injustices of… Gardening is it now?
Nah I’ll take the city thanks. I would like a functional bus service and be able to walk places.
Also bathroom, kitchen and livingroom possibly together, bedroom, and maybe. Maybe! An office.
Man that was a good year before the rent increase and subsequent eviction.

Everybody wants that edge of city and country feel. It makes them feel like they don’t live in the city but they still have all the amenities a city offers close by. And thus the Suburban experiment was born and has ultimately destroyed north american cities and created an affordability crisis for housing.
well you can’t blame it all on “living on the edge of a city”. IMO HOAs have done a substantial part of the harm, creating the sterile and hostile-to-teenage-life experience, and then there’s zoning laws which make it impossible to get communal activity, like a small bar or club right between the houses, and then there’s the lack of public transport …
One thing is missing. Family… A loving partner, maybe some years pass and some children…
I live in this. I pay 500€ rent, in one of Europe’s most densely populated areas. I commute to work by bicycle, and I can take walks into the forest with my cats till we get too close to the Alpaka Farm, cause they’re afraid of the alpakas.
Unfortunately, we’re getting thrown out this year, and looking at 3x the rent for something worse which is further away.Serves you well for rubbing it in our collective faces.
Sorry for your fate.
Where in Europe’s densest areas can you rent anything for 500€?
Nowhere if the stars don’t align.
I live in Heidelberg, Germany.
This house is worth 3-4x more.
But my landlady is a little special. She lives in a hippie commune in another country, is fighting with depression and simply didn’t want to deal with the house at all.
So that was the deal, we could live there for cheap, I fix stuff myself and never bother her with anything.I love her
