working in a rural town long-term - a raw perspective on a simple life

working in a rural area - my perspective from years in the countryside: in this video I wanted to share some challenges my community faces, including lack of affordable housing, limited resources, and increasingly rampant wildfires. Rent costs are quite high, and very few options for young working class people, which is a problem when a population is rapidly aging and needs the support of workers. Still, there is resistance to change despite the knowledge of these issues, and that’s understandable too. I don’t have too many opinions myself on the matter, this is a complex issue, and I am no expert. But I thought it would be interesting to share! Much love.
