A new life away from New York City, one where he and his family could enjoy a closeness to nature, better food, and develop practical skills and knowhow, became his goal. Yet Borsodi found the transition from downtown office worker to rural homesteader was not easy, and certainly not for everybody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorsodi is honest about the sacrifice that moving out of the city entails: one's options for a social life are fewer, there are no theatres or sports stadiums for example. Challenges such as learning how to maintain one's home and secure it against the elements, while having sufficient finance in place to buy a plot of land and to manage on while adapting to rural life, are described in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlight from the City \u003c\/em\u003ewas popular when it first appeared in 1933, and its guidance inspired many Americans to follow in the author's footsteps.
