@sim This is in part the reason why if I ever get enough money I intend to buy a big patch of land in a mostly rural area to build a town there. I intend to do so to set up a community based on certain ethical rules, and rather than sell the land to inhabitants instead sell licenses to use the plot of land for a set amount of time (5, 10, 20 years, and for the remainer of the buyer's lifetime, as that's allowed by local law) so that any who in practice owns land there has to go through an interview, and an unqualified heir won't get ownership, allowing the sense of community to remain. Since what counts is "act the part" the goal is to build it as a center of learning and arts, with it's own university, libraries, theaters and all that, so that people will flock there to use those services. That'd force the government to set a proper road access and railroad in there.
