If trump could think stratigically a eu-us embargo on china would change china for the better 'ast. But he lets china play us both.

America is not a capitalist society. It is a clasical liberal society. The core concept is you can work for whatever you want and thus obtain it.
Chicago is known as a democrat stronghold. The republicans don't have power to fight anything there.
they do open windows. They also close them. When they do that depends on the situation.
livewise they sit outside at times. They also sit insides.
There are many different hot climates with different situations. You cannot make a blanket statement. And you cannot look at what they do today when ac is common to figrue it out (where at is common)
Your safe following distance on gravel at 50mph is more than that. 3 seconds is your minimum following distances on normal surfaces (used to be 2, advice has changed), you should have a 4 second following distance on gravel. https://www.drive-safely.net/safe-following-distance/
Look at old hot climates.
notice the afternoon siesta. Sleep in the shade in the hot of the day and work (play) later into the night.
notice large covered porches around the house. Spend more time outside in the breeze and shade.
notice the large windows and doors. When you are inside get plenty of ventilation-
notice the ceiling fan (often slave pulled). Be glad we now have electric fans.
notice the folding hand fans. Portable fans exist, though most of the time the hand fan is better - get one.
They were mostly had such poor insulation as to be not worth having because of the losses in winter. There is a good reason most people hove tore them out when they get ac.
No tides as a large moon would knock any other moons out of orbit - this means the moons are too small to support a tide.
If people are willing to pay for luxury apartments that says there are not too many. Let me know when more than 20% are empty. If it is less than 20% empty but more than 5% that is a good thing: it means that people who want one can find one, less than 5% and finding an apartment is too hard. The economy has ups and downs all the time which is why 20% is still okay, since when things come back those will get filled.
All new apartments are luxury. People who want/need cheap apartments are looking for something 50+ years old that has had the minimum remodels done since those are always much cheaper for the same size. Building an apartment is expensive and that needs to be paid for by adding some (relatively cheap) features that are luxury today.
Those who build apartments have a good idea how much parking is needed. They have incentive to figure it out because while it costs money to build parking it costs them when someone who wants parking decides to rent elsewhere where they can find it. Getting this balance right needs to be figured out for each block though, and so the city is too big to have a code.
Location matters. Cheyenne with a population of 65,132 is large enough to expect good medical care (though I didn't look this up - you should!), and is only a few hours drive from Denver. It is also small enough that you can live practically in the city while also being in the rural exurbs. Something like this may be a good compromise depending on exactly why you want live in a rural area and what you want. There are other "cities" with good enough medical care available (and don't forget to look just across the border at other states). Maybe you can find a best of both worlds situation.
That said, you should be thinking about what next. Because at your age things can go downhill fast. You need to have good long term care for a nursing home (make sure it is good - you don't want to be in a nursing home that stinks like a sewer system so don't buy on cost). Make sure you have a plan on how and where you will move "back" when/if life forces it on you.
Remember farming/ranching is dangerous. Make sure you understand all the safety processes and don't cut corners. You are doing this as a hobby so feel free to lose money or hire out things.
That said, staying active in old age is your best way to get and stay health such that you can do those things. Those who sit around on the couch after retiring tend to die quick. My great-uncle ran his North Dakota ranch until 95 and only stopped because he couldn't care for his wife's Alzheimer's and run the ranch, I believe the activity is part of why he lived so long.
A reverse osmosis filter will run you $150 for parts - plus install and yearly filter changes. Start with that for costs. I would assume eu costs are similar but that is sometimes very wrong.
