I think the population of my little tiny town is set to more than double just this year. There were numerous twenty-five-acre plots near my house, now they’re full of zero lot line houses. Although the city put in some traffic circles, all the same two-lane roads are going to service several dozen times the traffic as The People’s Republic of Tallahassee is only twenty miles from here.
While Tallahassee was bolted down with masks, mask police and one-way arrows on store floors, you wouldn’t have known any of that foolishness was going on in our local stores. A few people were wearing masks, but that was of their own accord. The Sheriff did shut down a restaurant for failure to separate people, but I suspect that was more political than health related. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of a country politician.
We’re all 5 and 10 acre zoned here in the are of Bonner County, Idaho where we live. Everyone has their own septic system and well, power’s from Avista for the most part and we haul our own garbage that we don’t burn. Albeni Falls dam is nearby and produces power, so we can maybe, probably revert to local after a while. But who knows. Lots of local farming for ag and livestock.
