I used to think I’d go stir crazy living in a remote area, seeing basically nobody but family, only going out for grocery runs or nature walks. Turns out I love it. I haven’t been this relaxed in ages. Rural life with Internet is way better than I thought.

I hear you. From a different perspective, one that's more kid-level, the parks & streams & sidewalks of the suburbs aren't so ugly. My pet theory says that density brings kid-unfriendly externalities, but it's important to note it doesn't have to be this way.

Suburbia has high traffic arterials and children can't run errands/easily visit friends. Small towns are better in both ways, but US has cultural bias against them

I think it's a blend of cultural conservatism (i.e. people think it looks good) and our housing market removing any interesting features b/c it's perceived to lower the buyer pool / market value of your home. Hence why Toll Bros make housing associations that keep suburbs bland.
