That's a strange conclusion to draw.

There's plenty of open land where people could live without needlessly complicated automated electric drone taxis.

> Amazing and only £3 million!? Out of my budget but that's probably about the cost of a normal house in London.

Yeah, but you have far fewer of the amenities and benefits than a city like London provides. Also, the recurring costs are no doubt greater, like food deliveries, public utilities, etc.

I'd rather live in central London.

And maintenance and running costs are probably higher than a regular house.

If you want to get away from it all there are cheaper alternatives.

And if you are not afraid of maintenance cost, there are also better alternatives, such as a small castle or a farm, closer to where other people live.

I think the entire point of something like this is to be further from where other people live.

Why compare the price with a London house then?

Not GP, but for me it means that this is affordable for someone "not a billionaire" (for example if your family happens to be from London since generations).

I would keep the London house given the choice though :P
