    I no longer live in a beautiful and isolated area. Not that I moved, but it’s not beautiful anymore and the isolation is clearly gone.

      What a sad development. My best friend’s parents used to live miles outside of town. When we were teenagers we’d lay in the middle of the 2 lane road in front of their house and stargaze. Now they’re surrounded by track homes, the road is 6 lanes with non-stop traffic, and there’s a huge shopping complex across the street from their house. It’s been great for their property value, but not good at all for the lifestyle they chose.
