Good for you that you have the money to buy acres of woods (or an exclusive parcel bordering woodland) and a job that can support living in a remote place. For many people that would want that lifestyle it's simply unattainable, and we should give them reasonable alternatives.

I live in Prague, my parents in a nearby town. Walking 10 minutes gets me either to a metro station or an "urban forest"/heavily wooded park called Stromovka. I think it's a very appropriate for kids to play in nature. My parents have walking/biking access to similar places.

Not every place in Prague is this close to nature, but it's common enough that someone seeking that kind of housing can get it at basically no premium.

+1 for prague, I lived 100 meters from a woodland. Used to find hedgehogs as a kid. Never seen a homeless person withing a square mile of it.

Mah suburbia people do not even grasp the alternatives they are missing
