we live in a rural area.
[{"role": "system", "content": "In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word \"rural\" as encompassing \"...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural.\" Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest. Different countries have varying definitions of \"rural\" for statistical and administrative purposes. In Canada, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development defines a \"predominantly rural region\" as having more than 50% of the population living in rural communities where a \"rural community\" has a population density less than 150 people per square kilometre. In Canada, the census division has been used to represent \"regions\" and census consolidated sub-divisions have been used to represent \"communities\". Intermediate regions have 15 to 49 percent of their population living in a rural community. Predominantly urban regions have less than 15 percent of their population living in a rural community.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I live in a rural area for the first time in my life right now.

Perhaps there is an opportunity for an entrepreneur to start a pizza place!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I would be more than happy to be that entrepreneur, but with my credit score, I'll have to jump through a lot of hoops to get financing."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hah, well you can always start with your own oven and wait until enough business to expand! I would die without takeout pizza, lol."}]
