There is such a thing as taking a bit from each. House in the city, where there are restaurants that will actually serve something other than 'Mom's special hot beef sandwiches', theatres, museums, live music, stores with (gasp) selection, winter snow plows that arrive before you have to leave for work, etc. Cottage in the country, where you can live a quiet life.
I have lived in the country. I have lived in a small town. I have lived in a big city. And I LIKE my city. It offers services that I cheerfully pay high property taxes and an inflated house price to get. Having said that, having a cottage to retreat to is my sanity check.
If your temperament is such that country life would be fine for you, so be it. But don't sneer or feel pity for those who choose otherwise.
And you may call it righteousness

I know nice from right.
