Im with you on this. On top of that, urban living would make many of my skills and livelihood either absurdly expensive or straight up impossible. I can't put my vehicle up on blocks to work on or repair it in a city, my woodworking woodshop would be absurdly expensive and with my wood having to be shipped in from hundreds of miles away rather than cut within a few miles of me, people would complain about me hammering or grinding metal at 9 PM or later or likely in the middle of the day in many cases, I certainly couldn't burn wood for heat that is completely sustainable from the surrounding land, I couldn't grow the 50% of my own food myself, and storage space for the many materials that are required for anything I build or grow or repair would be an absurd expense. Basically all of those skills would become worthless and living my frugal and resource efficient lifestyle would be impossible.
