I am a city boy. The huts on a green mountain top may look idyllic but unless you grew up under those conditions you would get very bored very quickly. If you brought in enough modern comforts (such as electricity) that scene would very quickly change and it would no longer be the serene picture it is now but still not have everything a true city would. Just look at what happened to the Inuit people when tech and power was made available. The simple and peaceful life gave way to one of waste and conflict in just a couple of generations. I guess the moral of the story is that you can have one lifestyle or the other but when you try to combine both everything falls apart.
