Rioting in my city during the protests and the way it was underreported (initially) was how I experienced it, not as a plight of suffering students and bicyclists who were the marchers. Now crime here has gone up a lot, including a doubling of homicides, a tripling of shootings, and all sorts of random violence in neighborhoods not known for it.
Trapped in a one bedroom, working all day, and walking outside sucks. There's nowhere to go except online, and that's full of stressful garbage.
That's if you take an extreme interpretation of OP's dream of living in nature and simplicity. An alternative would be to move to a normal rural area of their current state where they still have power and are only 10-30 minutes from town. At least here in upstate NY, you can drive thirtyish minutes from many suburbs and end up in a nice spread out area with plenty of land for a decent price.
