I was going g to comment how I have the thing pictured, but that it comes with several real drawbacks. Not just mosquitoes either. Imagine having to buy and operate your own snow plow to leave the house in winter. Or buying groceries in bulk because the nearest Walmart is a three hour drive.

    It's the best place. Although tbh for the last few years, there's been a lot of rain mixed into the snow, because the climate is fucked.
