I agree. Old houses look really nice. But, does it only look nice for tourists? Or, does people who spend their days within the house feel the same?

I think that people who live in houses like that are always looking at what others have, and you keep doing that; it doesn't really matter where you live. Those who live in the village want to live in the city or in a villa, those who live in the city want to live in the countryside and have more peace of mind. I also think that those who consciously choose such a home and have a different approach and can live with the shortcomings are then forced to live there. Tourists, or perhaps emigrants at a later stage, consciously choose a certain living environment and are content with considerably less than what they may be used to at home, while other emigrants or refugees want the luxury of the most luxurious and are blind to all the costs that this entails or, again, to the work involved in achieving and maintaining it all. Either way, people will not be satisfied, then there will also be plenty who would simply be happy with anything, and some of us do it of our own free will, but some would still rather have a roof over their heads than nothing at all. Of course, time also plays a role when there are few amenities nearby and you have to travel for everything. If you have all the time in the world and are unemployed, it probably matters less than if you have a busy job or even two and just need to quickly pick up a few groceries. Incidentally, I don't even do the shopping once a month, so in that respect I don't have to go out often, but of course I would need to have a car or a home delivery service, and who doesn't?
For a large number of people, dependence on a doctor who may or may not come on days when I live, unlike the fire brigade, and with a bit of luck maybe the police, will play a major role in where to live, not to mention the possibility of internet, because what is life without the internet? Often, at least in our case, it is considerably better built than what you see nowadays, which is all cobbled together quickly and always has mould in it, and new-build homes don't seem to last long, certainly not in comparison to older homes, which is strange in itself.
Maybe the best comment that I've read in here. But, for sure it's the longest that I've received. XD.. It reminded me of something that I've read, it was about "what do man want?".. Not gender specific, more of related to human nature and their desire. It really cannot be put in one box. Everyone would have a different choices and taste to their goals/dreams.
Going back to the question, what is life without internet? We can agree on an easy answer here, which is, "Going back in time". But, is it tolerable with all the reliance on the internet nowadays?
