Eh, I guess? Partially. I have stores nearby that I can go walking, and WFH so yeah internet reliant, but I'm a programmer so that's already a given anyway.

I did say self sufficient with minimal transport though.

I live mostly this way. I have an electric car but I live in a very dense urban area and don't drive much. Looking to get myself an ebike or scooter to use as my main mode of transportation.

Yeah...being a programmer, it doesn't matter if WFH structure falls because around the same time most technology might fall. We just gotta hope that it's multi-decades away at this point
