There were times when I would romanticize myself living in a remote small town by the sea with my other half, leading a tranquil and simple life.  But is this sustainable?

Re-evaluating my dream life now, I want to live in a relaxed, convivial, and sustainable neighborhood where my friends are at walkable distances.  With well-designed and open “third” places, we would often meet up for drinks/soccer/bball/badminton after work to share laughters and also to vent our pressures and worries.  Over time, we’ll grow to have a strong sense of identity in the community.  Is this possible?  Am I being too idealistic?
