    That’s not rural, that’s ultra remote wilderness. Like what place doesn’t have a grocery store in a 100km radius? Some place deep in the Australian outback?

      i’m very curious what on earth your definition of rural is then, your parent’s backyard?

        My definition of rural is a place with some semblance of human habitation that is not urban. A speck of land characterized by villages, farms or forestry. Where you have limited access to the amenities found in cities.

        However, what village does not have a grocery store? Or at least not one in the next bigger village?

        Do you have some examples of villages without a grocery store an hour of driving away?

      Village of ~10k, nearest grocery store is 25min walk, 10min bike, 5min car.

      There are also three smaller stores a 2 min walk away. Europe for reference

        I sincerely doubt there is a a place in Europe outside of maybe remote Scandinavia or Russia where you can’t get to a grocery store after driving for an hour.
