If your professionnal situation lets you do this, go for it. Problem is, for a lot of people including myself, jobs are in the city. Moreover, here in France, by living in the countryside, you get an additionnal bonus of :
-
no public transit
-
no hospital
-
no doctor
-
no school
-
no post office
-
no bakery (the worst)
