Why would you want to live out in the boonies without owning a car?

Just get a car.

They’re not that expensive, you can get a used beater for not much more than an iPhone. If you don’t want a beater, you can probably afford to spend a little more with the money you save from living out in the boonies.

Most people who live in the boonies owns a car.
