utopia - reinventing the wheel?

One question that comes to mind quite often when I'm having my lucid dreams of utopian living, is whether is would be better off to just find the right place and stay there. After all that's why we moved here. But as I have stated in the past - does the American Capitalist way of life allow for such lofty ideals of living?

I often feel that the old towns of Europe are my inspiration for dreaming of Utopian villages here in the United States, but I have also heard that many of those have since been bought and sold, and now cater to vacationing citizens of the UK. The yeoman of yore have left the building, so to speak.

A recent opportunity at PayPerPost for a company known as Wellington Estates advertises areas in North Cyprus that supposedly have not been tapped by modern profiteers yet. Their North Cyprus Property listings showcase areas that they say retain "a rural charm and slow pace of life." Looking at the photos, I am not reminded of medieval villages or rural life in any way, though. Most of them appear to be built in a desert-like setting, with nearby homes sitting a typical American suburban-lot's length away. Perhaps this suburban style of development is better for Cyprusians than the "overdeveloped" areas of South Cyprus, but in my book, they look like suburban Southern Colorado (aka - not my cup of tea).
