    Maybe, but my opinion is borne out of experience. Having to drive 40+ minutes for groceries, running a generator for power, a water pump to get running water, and shitting in an outhouse gets old.

    Also, people are nice if you aren’t a shut in. I like being able to wander over to friends’ house without it being that much of a hassle.

      Grow and hunt, solar panels, electric pump, and a septic tank you can pay someone to clear for you. Technology didn’t stop in the 1930’s. You can also invite people to your land, fulfilling your last problem.
