My wife grew up on the same large plot of land as some extended family, including my wife's grandparents and two sets of cousins, aunt, and uncle. I was hoping to do so, too, but money was never good enough to get it, but then my children are older by too much to have the same arrangement of growing up surrounded by cousins. Might not happen.

I find there to be a major difference between living on the same piece of land & living in an urban environment.
There's no shared goals in the urban setting.
