    This is such a dream for me. Living in suburban hell has definitely impacted my mental health and overall health negatively.

      Suburbs can be good depending on your neighborhood/community. It’s also not impossible to meet people, you might just have to find more group hobbies like sports/climbing/book clubs/dnd groups/etc…

        It really depends but as a non-cis poc, I’d rather not take my chances after seeing some of the flags that my neighbors hang

          Ooof that’s valid. Do you have a local community garden or theatre group? There will be supportive people hiding out in your community somewhere and I feel like those two things attract some fun, kind people.

            I haven’t looked into it because I wasn’t able to find anything on Facebook and I stopped using that site already. Also, It’s so car-centric in our area that it takes a 25 minute walk to get to the nearest bus stop. I can’t even drive but I’m currently studying our state’s driving laws. I’m fairly new to the area and I’m not accustomed to American socialization

              That’s a really rough spot to be in 😕 I hope you can find a sense of community and can pass your drivers course quickly.
