If 'self sufficiency' is important, the #1 thing I would look for is like-minded neighbors.
We all like to think we are self sufficient, but in reality, we all depend on others, and a small, organized group will be far more sustaining than any individual. Groups allow for some degree of specialization and trade.
I think if there is a moral to "Good Neighbors", it's exactly that, just look at the title. But mostly it's just entertaining.
