Thank you so much! Indeed. We are lucky to live in such a beautiful area. I look at the mountains daily from my room; I am forever thankful.

My view was down the rolling valleys with a river flowing through, now wall to wall buildings going up, no wonder so much flooding! Earth needs space to absorb, developers no longer leave large parks.

And more importantly, depression will soar as people need nature as well. People will not live their best lives in wall to wall gated communities.

Depression is here in more ways than one, as for these gated communities I doubt I would enjoy a life like that nor in flats or high-rise buildings, they can keep their smart cities!

That is so true. The dream is to live alongside nature. I had some coffee this morning at a place that incorporated various ruins; the plants grew wild over all of them. It is something beautiful, but I would guess one way to keep nature close by!

Time changes many ideal places, eventually one has the choice to move or travel to enjoy peace the countryside offers.

Its funny how most people prefer that move! The goal would be to find a job one can do online; it will make it possible to buy property much cheaper in the countryside. What bliss for the mind!
