That's an urban lifestyle.
Not that I blame people who live out in the sticks and commute into the city. The roads were there first, after all, and they're taking advantage of conditions. It's just a net-loss for society, and as is becoming clear, isn't sustainable.
Are you suggesting that the only way to have a "rural" lifestyle is to grow all of your own food, act as your own doctor, and educate your children entirelt by yourself? Bear in mind that, to do even a fraction of this, you'd need lots of land, which would mean you're a significant distance from any neighbours who might help, which would mean you'd probably need a car, or similar, anyway.
