Yes, different worlds. There are trade-offs however. There are almost literally no services (water, sewage, trash etc.) and we often get cut off in storms because the roads get blocked. I used to live a city life and I loved that, but now I am very content here. My city friends worry about me because I am so far from 'help' and I guess that is true. But it also means I am far from 'annoyances'.
Also, I am in New Jersey for goodness sake - it is one of the most populated states in the country. I have a vehicle, there are roads. How isolated can it really be?!
I honestly am just enormously grateful for everything, I am one of the luckiest people alive.
