The author mentions they’re just about to have a baby, and it’s notable that they don’t talk about the quality of the schools. Even if they homeschooled, I imagine they want their kids to have some friends, and they didn’t talk about how that would work without a car. Once they get a car, they might get a little bit unlucky and live an hour away from their kid’s closest peer. I hope they get along!

I checked and the quality of schools there are fine! 75% of students in high school at grade level in math and reading. Pretty normal.

Why do you assume that they are no kids in the neighborhood?

I suppose another option is that they don't actually care if their kids have friends. Perhaps parents are enough, in their view.

Where are they going to go if the birth is complicated? Just bleed out on the floor of their hut?
