Yes, some people here misunderstand Rural life. One car per family is NOT ENOUGH. I live in West Virginia, and absolutely nothing is within walking or even biking distance. Grocery store? About 15 miles. Doctors office? 20 miles. Elementary School? 15 miles. With everything so spread out, it takes time to go between places. Imagine a family with one car: Kid gets out of school at 4, dad works until 6, and mom works until 7. So kid had to wait until 7 for mom to get out of work, and dad, too? Then, you have traveling time. Oh! But it's time to go to the grocery store! But you can't, because kid has soccer practice and the grocery store is at least 40 minutes from the practice field. See where I'm going?
