Certainly not. You are confusing the prefecture and the city, and you know
it. And you are going to the mountains are an "urban area", etc

That's great that you don't want to have friends or relatives living further
than 1.5 km,
that you don't want to go out see other places and meet anybody else than
neighbours, so you have no reason to go to a restaurant or anywhere that is
not at a walking distance.

So yeah, you get what you want where you are. There is no way you wouldn't
in fact. Good for you.

BTW, I don't see in what I insulted your island. I have nothing against
people that live in places where facilities and shops are spread out, and
where the nature has not been completely covered by concrete.
And you're the one talking about Fukuyama as if that was a 7-11.
