It's clear to me that you always need to look at the bigger picture and the truth is that a nice house doesn't mean much if you don't have all the basic things for life. Here in the EU we take a lot of things for granted, and although there is somewhat free healthcare (it costs around 10 EUR per month in my country), public hospitals are no longer what they once were and people increasingly have to go to private clinics if they don't want to wait 6 months or more than a year for a check-up.

As for water, I and many others don't drink tap water because there are many complaints about its quality, and too much chlorine in it is not good for your health. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living somewhere away from the noise, polluted air, and all the plagues of the modern world, which means I would be willing to give up some of the things that make life more enjoyable.
