I like the country, I lived for years in small farming communities. At one time I rented 280 acres and was surrounded by creeks, swamp, and woodland. Pheasants crowed outside my windows and fox ran across the lawn. I still went camping.
Today, my wife and I have an acre of ex-urbia between two very good recreational lakes and, besides feeling population pressure, it is fairly like the country. We still go camping.
Yeah, a few bad neighbors can really get to a guy, probably more so for gentleman of our age. I don't think you'd miss the cities for long if you moved out, there is a lot more serenity and ease of life away from big cities.
I guess this old song by Jerry Jeff Walker captures my thoughts about it pretty well: The Cowboy's Lament
