But that's all we are. Farms, cows, people riding horses, clear skies with a view of the Milky Way galaxy every night. There's just a lot of us in one spot because there's nothing else for like 300 miles in any direction. I mean literally nothing else, it's all wild animals and stuff.
Yeah, but if you have all the things that an urban location has, then you're living in an urban location. You might not have the standard urban culture (well, if it's a farming town, I'm going by assumption ), but the urban status is plastered all over any area that has high speed broadband, more than one McDonalds, more than one cinema screen, something like 2,000 people per square mile, roads with more than four lanes, 24 hour shops... I guess that's just how I see the real difference when deciding what kind of lifestyle you want. Rural for me means sacrificing what you get in urban locations such as those things I just mentioned. If you already have all these things, then how are you not urban? xD

Also, saying you live in a state with less than one million people... well, I used to live in a country of less than four million people. But I still accept that the city I lived in was most definitely urban.

Come to the urban side, Pike. Look in your heart, you know it to be true.
