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.

As a farm kid and having lived on a farm most my life, I will say this FARMING is just PLAIN HARD WORK WITH LOW PAY. How ever it does have it's benefits. No body give a shit if I brew my own beer, or make a still and distill something a little stronger. I can have my wood shop and build what ever I want at any time I want and don't have the neighbors complaining about noise to worry about. I can take my rifle out and shoot pests from my back door. Then there is the meat. I raise my own chickens, turkey's, cows and pigs and slaughter them for my meat witch I Butcher to my own specs. I also own a real honest to god wood fired smoker to make smoked meat and don't have to worry about neighbors complaining about smoke or the DEQ or any other Bull Shit government agency. Hell some of my neighbors were raising weed even before it became legal and nobody cared, (except the illegal weed growing syndicates growing weed on public lands). Living on a FARM is about Hard Work and FREEDOM.
