There are a lot of up- and down-sides to living someplace ruralish (my town has 4500 people). We have no food delivery. The town is asleep by 9 pm. All our street parking is free. I know everyone who works in my town's government. It's easy to get elected to do stuff if you want to. You have to make your own fun.
On the brightest side, I was able to go into my public library and the new Murderbot was on the shelf! Exciting!
