perhaps a better title would have been "Ohio Reaches Suburb Saturation"<p>Perhaps its redneck elitism but "rural" implies you'd have to work at least a <i>bit</i> to hit a neighbor with a rifle shot. Don't think Ohio has had much land like that for a while; sure there's vast fields but no one lives there, the communities are gathered up into the places that were harder to till. and those were "tiny towns" back unto the 1800s afaik.<p>"Rural" might mean the only government services one can expect are USPS mail and a county property tax assessment. If someone wants a permit to build something on a plot of land, its too citified. If a firetruck might show up because of your bonfire, its iffy how "rural" you are.
