The site of million dollar houses, snobby empty people will increase your depression, even if you yourself are rich. It doesn't matter.
This is one of the reasons why the West is so depressing. They think richness makes people happy. It doesn't. I like puddles, dirt, commotion and disorder. It cures my soul.
You don't always have to be clean, orderly in EVERYTHING!
Thats why people like Marylin Monroe, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson and Elvis commit suicide. If they went to a place like Russia and started a farm, they would've met people who make them happy.
Meh, even going to a places like Canada, Iowa or Wisconsin would've helped them.
Living around cold calculating rich assholes will make you DEPRESSED.

Not happy with urban or most suburban living at all. Too much noise, too many disputes with neighbors... That's why I live out in the desert on a 5 acre lot.
The nearest city to me, El Paso, has a rule for most neighborhoods that all properties have to be divided by rock walls. They don't have to be very tall even, could be short enough to just step over, but they're your demarc and it sure helps prevent arguments about who's supposed to mow where, etc.

The desert is always the best, she is a harsh mistress.

I'm semi-retired, though I still do some coding work.

I always thought desert living would be cool.
