Drive to get groceries? You’re dependent on most of those same factors.

I said I wanted enough arable land to grow my own.

Water? Same. Even if you have a well, you still don’t want that well to be polluted by people around you.

See above.

Shelter? You presumably don’t want a neighbor’s rickety structure to fall over on yours during a storm.

See above. I don’t intend to have neighbors within a mile.
