  My living here doesn't attract more business or residents to the neighborhood

On the contrary, try getting internet, sewer, water, electrical, or gas hookups in a rural area and let me know the cost.

In fact, if you have a rural undeveloped plot of land amongst other undeveloped plots, and you pay to bring in electricity and gas or whatever, the properties around you will go up in value because now it’s cheaper to connect them up.
