As someone who was born in rural place, who left as soon as I can and then come back briefly to run again, I saw quite a few people who make the leap, left bustle and hustle of big city behind and were ready to embarace slow and more intentional life.

They all think they will move to rural community to live simpler, more selfsufficient life among other people, casualy share tips on permaculture with their neighbors and what not.

You might get lucky to find similar minded people, but at the end newcomers are just those ridiculus city folks that come to the town, talking weird stuff, while local hold blue colar jobs in nearby town or hustling income as helping hands whenever they can. Most people do not chose rural places, they just don't have any other choice. Also rural poverty is a thing.
