You cannot satisfy your most fundamental need for food and water.
“Ruralia” is already entirely ecologically sustainable.
If you don’t want to subsidize rural infrastructure through your tax dollars, then frankly, we should just charge you exorbitant rates for our food and water, and then — by your metric — we’ll be entirely financially sustainable, too.

If you live largely "off the grid", grow much of your own food, don't go out much (since any going out means a lot of driving, if you're in the country), and rarely order goods delivery... sure.
I have some buddies who now make their own biodiesel. That makes the driving carbon neutral. I hope to do the same in the next few years, once I get my next vehicle (probably a diesel).
