This has exactly been my experience and had shared in one of the Wednesday meditations. I stayed in a remote place for almost a one and a half years. And had liked that place a lot for its simplicity, closeness to nature etc. But while my stay there I realized all this wasn't valued by the people there. Given a choice mostly everyone would want to transform the space into a city. So the space wasn't the reflection of the mindset of people.
