Our need for a low-density or high-density environment apparently change during our life:
- Childhood: kids need space, safety/freedom and some friends to explore the world. Countryside and suburbs are the best option.

- Maturity: after we had experienced the world and/or when our place in hierarchy gets stagnant, we want to slow down. Countryside is the best option.
