One big reason I am in Palawan the Philippines is much of this place is still exactly what old Hawaii used to be.
Recall the lament "I want to go back to my little grass shack"?
Well you cant on the Big Island of Hawaii. Despite being the most rural island with all the reasons why a grass shack is all you need, you are forced to live an artificial life.

There is no house more incredible than a bamboo house with nape palm roof. You have to see them to appreciate them.
Nothing, and I mean nothing from modern man.
A home with a slat floor, no glass windows, no tile, no nails, no metal, no paint, no plumbing, no water, no lights, no electric, no bed, no furniture, and no kitchen sink.
The feeling is of peace and beauty. It is an ultimate luxury.
Obviously it is possible to live very rewarding life in a rural location in housing of this standard. The wealthy flock to these places to experience this living standard.
The question comes down to aloha. As long as human waste, garbage, and noise are not disturbing your neighbor, effecting ground water, or poisoning the air, then you are a good neighbor.
There is no reason a $10 million dollar homeowner cannot enjoy a view looking out upon a little grass shack that is kept up in good condition.
Likely that $10 million dollar home with manicured lawn and pool is doing far more harm to the environment and ground water. It depends on chemicals and pesticides to keep it looking artificial.
