The 'Sea change' phenomomon is only taken up by 'baby boomers' who are very wealthy and semi-retired. It would be more environmentally friendly if they choose to live closer to a city and other *essential* services. One day soon, they will be too old to safely drive a car. Country living isn't environmentally sustainable, it's a luxury item! As was Marie Antoinette's The Petit Hameau (The Little Hamlet). I would just like to be able to afford somewhere not next to a freeway. :) As a young Australian; I would like to add a counter point to John Lampard comment.

Country living isn’t environmentally sustainable, it’s a luxury item! As was Marie Antoinette’s The Petit Hameau (The Little Hamlet). I would just like to be able to afford somewhere not next to a freeway. :)

The dominant trend/attitude in the States still seems to consider the suburbs over the city, but the tides appear to be turning and city condos in mid-sized cities like Seattle and Minneapolis seem to be increasing in price ever faster. Still, you're right: non-city living can also be sustainable these days. That is definitely an interesting perspective from the other side of the world!
