Apparently you can just buy like 500 acres of land in west Virginia for 20k

Why don't more people do this?

Really? It’s got to be in the middle of nowhere, right?

Yeah

I mean tempting tho

Is it though?

Meth heads

Yeah you can do that in Nevada too but you are in the middle of nowhere

I want to go live in the Las Vegas tunnels under the city with all the homeless seems like a good life.

That is actually some scary shit. Been there a few times and im familiar with working with the homeless. But that place is a serious meth den

You don’t have to sell me on it I’m already sold!

Cheap, you can stack more sats

Nevada is crappy desert tho, West Virginia beautiful forest and mountains, at least would be great for hunting cabins

That would creep me out me more then the desert. Im familiar with the Mojave so im comfortable there

I looked into this a lot when I was younger.

Even when I was 22 and living in UK I looked into buying up 10,000’s of acres of North Dakota. Only because it was so cheap.

Cheap for some good reasons.

Back in say 2004 you could buy BLM parcels of 1 mile x 1 mile (640 acres) in North and South Dakota for about $15,000 iirc.

The state actually listed the parcels for sale on ebay! No buyers.

Then they discovered shale oil. 🤗

Time for a physical Nostrland

Yep

Because you won't truly own it (taxation).

West Virginia is Virginia, but if it was on meth. Like, a lot of meth.

Infrastructure is awful, can’t get good internet speeds anywhere and the schools mostly just bring down national averages.

Lowkey tempting. I’d buy a star link and go live in the middle of nowhere

💯💯

Deliverence

We have 400+ in the family here in central Missouri. God's country, here. Just need money to build.

I’ll go in on that with you

I know someone who did it. 100% offgrid is the only way. He built a large mobile data antenna for internet. If you’re going to move to Tatooine, you have to think a year ahead for supplies, have self sufficient tech, and backups of all that tech.

Farmland has always been cheap, not just in West Virginia. In France or Spain $270 per acre has been the norm for years, I don't know what it is now.

maybe taxes are like 100k lol
