The 70 Amos (140ft.) rule (from where to start counting the 2000
Amos that one is permitted to walk on Shabbos outside the city limits) does not necessarily apply at the city boundary but applies within any rural area. More specifically, it applies in the country. If the distance between each house is less than 140ft. it is considered within city limits and we do not start counting the 2000 amos (4,000ft.)
