    but like rural people have plumbing, electricity, and internet? the internet one is absolutely trivial nowadays with 4g routers

      To my knowledge, hobbit holes have none of those amenities. You can make one of these in a city or suburb if you can get the permit, it’ll just be a strange looking house. That’s not how I interpreted the post.

        why wouldn’t you assume people want modern niceties? that seems like a pretty obvious thing to assume.

        and again, there’s no reason you can’t have this stuff in a rural place, it’s not like rural people in sweden have outhouses and drive to the nearest city to use the internet…

        just install a septic tank, drill a well, slap up solar panels and a small wind turbine, and get a 4g router.

          Yeah our coverage maps look pretty good too. However, in practice the service can be very hit and miss… mostly miss.
