happy to pay some money for mobility in exchange for all that.

Most of the costs are probably externalized and not paid for by you

Also good neighbors vs bad neighbors isn’t intrinsic to city vs country. You could easily have a neighbor out there that shoots guns unsafely , or feeds bears, or whatever. I had a whole DND crew here in the city that we could walk to each other’s places.

But this is kind of getting off the topic of cars aren’t the freedom people say they are.
