> Of course, living in the countryside also involves a huge amount of things that need to be done That's why living in a community has upsides. Of course, getting along with your "neighbors" is a prerequisite, but it fixes problems such as: - who's going to take care of X while i'm sick? - i'm familiar with water pumps, but i have no clue about repairing truck engines; who will do it? - i'm very good at farming but i'm clueless about making bread In addition, communal living enables economies of scale which urban individualized lifestyles have completely dismantled. For example, the video mentions communal cooking and laundry, which overall consumes much less resources than each household having their own fridge/stove/oven/laundromat. > but living closer to the nature just feels more right, a sensation that's utterly devoid from urban life It feels more right because it is more right. There's nothing inherently wrong with some level of population concentration, but modern cities are car-centered nightmares where everything is concrete and pollution and where life without money is utterly impossible, and where the population concentration is such that any form of self-sustaining lifestyle is impossible (if only for energy and food).
