Sibley sounds like a nice place, but it's not the whole world.

  Most of America is closer to Sibley than to the big coastal cities. Median home value in Osceola County is $100,000, or about double the median income. According to ACS, the median American home is $217,000, about three times the national median income. The median California home price is $615,000, almost 9 times the median income. In the Bay Area, the median home is a million, ten times the median income.

  To expand on rayiner's comment a bit: Sibley sounds pretty much identical to all but the absolute smallest cities/towns I've visited or lived in. Just because they're small doesn't mean they don't have apartments (or trailer parks), nor does it mean they lack grocers or restaurants or auto shops or gas stations or offices. If anything, the average commute is shorter (at least distance-wise) in a rural town/city than a large city, since there's less distance to cover to get from one end of town to the other. Cities tend to grow outward faster than they grow upward, so from a square-cube-law point of view, the bigger the city, the longer the commute (without having to pay through the nose for rent).
