  I've left the big city for the Alps and well... I never had in any city as much social life as here. In cities you cross countless of people you ignore, you have just made few friends and you go with them mostly to consume some service, while in low density areas "home parties" are the norm, having less neighbors you tent to frequent almost all, so instead of being in a bubble you meet people of a variety of background and wealth all together with their ideas, experiences etc. From home many works without a desktop, farmers, laundry with the shop in the basement and the home upstairs, medicine doctors and so on. So well... I see you scenario much more in a dense city, goshiwong alike, than in spread area of single family homes intermixed with works buildings like EU Rivieras. With this lifestyle you get: - much more in-person social activities - much better environment - much more personal space - much less to spend in consuming services, from ready made foods to fast fashion, mobile smart macrobugs devices and so on. This last point is the reasons why big tech and in general finance capitalism hate such model.
