I actually live on the outskirts of a city, in the intersection of major motorways and a walking distance from the small but interactions airport we have. As in I regularly take walks which go within a stones throw of the airport area and I’ve been in the back buildings they have there, fucking around with old lockers and the airplane stairs they’d use to use and whatnot. (Free clay balls for my gardening hobby as well dumped in a pile there, clearly abandoned.)

And I’m pretty sure I could manage to get Cessna sized plane up, I’ve played enough simulators.

Everyone here is so negative about all of this. I’d have much better chances at a life worth living than I do in this bureaucratic hellscape. Not really, probably, because once the convenience of everything gets taken away, it seems way less fun. But yeah not everyone is in the same situation. One of the other commenters was a trucker in, I assume, the US. That’s a mobile apartment with torque enough to drive through any zombies. That guy isn’t stuck in a city.
