I can speak of this from experience. I (currently) live in the near vacinity
of a town we amiably named "cowtown", and used to go to a small ton high
school. As it turns out, one of the graduates before me at that school went
on to become an astronaut -- after living in almost-vacant "cowtown" all
his life.
Makes /me/ proud to be a citizen of such lightly populated areas. Besides
that,
it's quieter, safer, and if the government comes for me, I have a kill zone of
at least 5 miles. Woohoo!
Daniel.
