They only wanted to sell the house to a family that was dedicated to farming the land behind the house.



Correct, that is not reality. I don't think you can put every forumer in a box regarding how we travel.

Here on the forum, we discuss population statistics, transit, urban planning, and other nerdy things. In meatspace, however, the vast majority of people don't discuss those things at all. So traveling is necessarily about something else, everything else. Personally, I have loved visiting every city I've been to, with a single exception that I won't go into. I love seeing the sights, good food, architecture, people-watching, and visiting natural attractions near every city I visit. I love cities--and not just one particular kind of city. Again, only once in my life did I visit a place and fail to find the experience mostly positive.

Same here. Been to all fifty states and almost every largish metro (still need to visit Orlando, MKE, MPLS and Detroit) and enjoyed them all for different reasons. Always make sure to hit the local micro breweries too.
