I’m very smart.
turns out, living with no infrastructure or services (like electricity, communications, or paved roads) blows. even freaks like me who enjoy subsistence agriculture and crunchy living have our limits.
a small plot of land zoned for a homesite within a 30 minute drive of a store and an hour of a hospital is considerably more expensive than the average “per acre” value of prime ag land of massive lots in the unincorporated community of West Jerkwater, Iowa.
is it cheaper than an apartment in NYC? sure. but the price point of a homestead in the US is by no means “cheap” globally, especially because other (normal) countries have programs to create paths to land in small farming communities.
we just let those communities collapse into diseases of despair as large holders swallow up small farms falling into bankruptcy and suicide.

Hi, I’d like one normal country, please :doomjak:
