I empathize with the feeling of living a simpler, happier life, but living like a hobbit would suck for a lot of us.
Indoor plumbing, sewage, electricity and internet, are all way more important to the kind of people who are on this site than they might expect. In addition to that, if you’ve never lived in the countryside, rural living and basic peasant subsistence farming is fucking awful. You are constantly working maintenance and rebuilding damaged property. You’re always dirty, smelly, and tired.
but like rural people have plumbing, electricity, and internet? the internet one is absolutely trivial nowadays with 4g routers
here’s the 4g coverage in sweden for the Telia network, how much more rural do you want to get? siberia?
To my knowledge, hobbit holes have none of those amenities. You can make one of these in a city or suburb if you can get the permit, it’ll just be a strange looking house. That’s not how I interpreted the post.
why wouldn’t you assume people want modern niceties? that seems like a pretty obvious thing to assume.
and again, there’s no reason you can’t have this stuff in a rural place, it’s not like rural people in sweden have outhouses and drive to the nearest city to use the internet…
just install a septic tank, drill a well, slap up solar panels and a small wind turbine, and get a 4g router.
