    Yeah it's awesome and beautiful. But, as long as they make use of external services like hospitals, they're not really self-sustaining. To keep the hospital running we need factories, farms, universities, and research centers. To keep those running we need people to work at all those places and places for all those workers to stay. And to keep all those goings... well it just keeps going.
