Ruralpolitans refer to urbanites who relocate to the countryside。
Ruralpolitans(暂译为“乡间都市人”)指移居乡间的城市居民。
While urban and suburban real estate is still generally under pressure, the rural market is holding up better in many areas. Sometimes dubbed “ruralpolitans,” those city and town dwellers are looking at land as their new safe investment, one they hope could prove more stable than their jobs and 401(k)s – and provide a better lifestyle。
Motivations can vary, but typically there are three groups: young people buying land as an asset or investment, with vague hopes to live on it someday; exurban commuters who have jobs in big towns or cities but want to escape the sprawl; and back-to-the-land types who want to dabble in hobby farming。
Although “ruralpolitans” has been around since at the least the 1990s, the term is increasingly newsworthy – both because of the recession and a growing interest in living greener and more sustainable lives。
