Urban areas aren't exactly that much better for young people today. Take out student loans in order to qualify for those jobs, then take out a mortgage to afford a home, live your entire life paying off the debt you signed onto in your 20's. Granted, in today's economy urban areas are the job centers, not rural farming communities. It's not entirely out of our control to change this dynamic though.

Cities have jobs and "affordable" living.
It would take a man's entire life to save up and find property and build your own agricultural estate and be self sufficient.
I would have retired to a simple life of independence long ago if it was feasible

Yeah I know cities suck. But there's not many melenials out there with the capital to buy a nice plot of land and make a living off the land.
