When I think of a rural area, I think of homes about 100 yards apart. Some may be a mile apart.
I’m sure there’s a real danger of those people being harmed by the neighbor’s wood fire. /s
Some leaders deserve to face the people they make laws for, with their backs to a wall when those people have a stone in their hand.
Here, we are about 1/4 mile to a mile apart. Everyone burns wood. Amazingly, the ugly black snow is found in town along the roads. Out here, the snow around our homes is white and remains that way.
