Please name a rural area where everyone farms. I want to look at it on google satellite/street-view.


If all the people who lived in rural areas who don't actually do any farm work would leave, I think there would be very few farmers. I think most of the people living in rural areas do so to provide support services and social structure for farmers and farm workers. What's more, if people in those areas really wanted to LCF, they could live within small towns or mixed-use developments and take buses or bike out to the fields. There's a desire to have automotive access to a broad geographical range, which is why many rural people wouldn't be interested in LCF. If you want to live rurally to participate in the automotive culture of it, why would you even be bothering with LCF at all?
