There is indeed one grocery store remaining here. This particular town is lucky in that way: Over the past couple of decades it has gone from 3 or 4 grocery stores to 1, instead of from 1 or 2 to 0 like many surrounding communities.

In terms of choice: No, not really. The housing market is very tight these days. So for now, at least: While I must live somewhere, I don't necessarily get to live where I want. I must instead make do with living where I can (and I suppose optionally also maintain hope for a better day tomorrow).
