but like rural people have plumbing, electricity, and internet? the internet one is absolutely trivial nowadays with 4g routers
To my knowledge, hobbit holes have none of those amenities. You can make one of these in a city or suburb if you can get the permit, it'll just be a strange looking house. That's not how I interpreted the post.
why wouldn't you assume people want modern niceties? that seems like a pretty obvious thing to assume.
and again, there's no reason you can't have this stuff in a rural place, it's not like rural people in sweden have outhouses and drive to the nearest city to use the internet..
just install a septic tank, drill a well, slap up solar panels and a small wind turbine, and get a 4g router.
I had a whole thing written out but I just don't feel like arguing about this
lol okay
I am pretty sure 4g isn't really viable for most rural areas.
here's the 4g coverage in sweden for the Telia network, how much more rural do you want to get? siberia?
Yeah our coverage maps look pretty good too. However, in practice the service can be very hit and miss... mostly miss.
