I don't think the independent homesteaders mindset is viable for a significant portion of society. Smaller communities are, however. Trading with neighbors with whom one also communes on Sundays, visit on Saturdays, and work with and for on Mondays through Fridays is the normal way of life.
The hundreds of thousands and greater population cities are not only highly anomalous in human history but actually bad for human flourishing.
