I think we are pretty much on the same exact page actually. Having grown up in a place that pretty much is a wasteland but is also far from the worst place, I also wonder how anyone chooses it. But on the other hand for a lot of people it doesn’t feel like a choice even if it technically is. Some people just can’t imagine leaving their friends and family behind.
If I had my perfect living situation, I would live in the woods but still be a safe 20 min bike ride from a bustling city. That would be the best of both worlds imo. Seems like a pipe dream really, other than maybe in Colorado, sort of. Denver didn’t seem like it would be my favorite city when I briefly visited.
