ha ha, man was not meant to live out in nature, we were meant to live 300 feet in the air in a little concrete box, and trip over each other on the way to get a 7 dollar Latte and a 10 dollar Croissant
The problem is, what happens when everyone else decides they want a home in the woods too, and suddenly you realize you aren't nearly as "alone" as you thought you were?

nope, according to some on city data everyone craves density. Therefore, no one would want a house in the woods.
this thread was started to show those people that not everyone cares about density

I don't know if it's the density people like or the amenities, prestige and offerings dense cities have that make them want to live there. I live in Phoenix now and can't stand it here. It doesn't have a lot to offer and more densely-populated cities are inviting because of what they can offer me.

Not sure who said that, but I assume you don't agree, and neither do I. We have all been taught that we should want a house in the woods, going back quite a few generations now, although what the people doing the selling resembles a "house in the woods" only in the sense that the styrofoam/meat hockey puck they sell you at McDonald's resembles a hamburger.
So, again--you move out to the woods. You chop some logs, pee off the porch, eat nuts and berries. All is well until you hear the sounds of other logs being chopped, and before you know it, you have neighbors, and they would like to have a word with you about this peeing off the porch business. What then?

It seems that those of us who don't want to live in the cities are a minority compared to those who do. Actually there are many (mostly city slickers) who loathe wilderness and being away from the city. I don't see that changing.
But, if for some reason that were to change, many homes in the countryside are on acreage anyway, not small .10 acre lots so the neighbor effect would be buffered.
Shouldn't you live-in-the-woods types be happy that everyone wants to live in cities? Keeping things nice and quiet for you?
