I live in the mountains 400 km away from any city. Can confirm it's pretty nice.


It rough for us mountain people who have to live in the city though. I miss the mountains and forest so much. What's even worse is my plan to retire back to the mountains is now going to be so hard because of all the outsiders inflating property prices that were already high.

It is nice to have so many conveniences and things to do available in the city (a trip to the store isn't a once a month thing because it's so far away), but the spiritual/mental benefits of living in and near nature are second to nothing for me at least.
