they imagine themselves wanting to go out to the country side to retire, but would find that living in remote places that doesn't have facilities to be poor quality life.

you want to travel to the countryside for leisure - may be even for extended vacation. But you will almost always want a "home base" in a big metropolitan area for when services are needed - such as medical or home helper etc.

They don't just imagine themselves doing it, they actually do it, and then rail hard against wind farms.

I'm in Australia, you can listen to them on the radio (podcasts) complaining about the noise etc.

How do we find a balance between people's right to quiet enjoyment of their homes and other factors that affect the rest of society.

Also when everyone moves to the countryside it isn't really the rural countryside anymore. It is just sprawl.
