and that's enough to be sustainable

I'd say if everyone saved up/loaned each other 10,000 we'd all bet set

I have my heart set on MT/ID tho

They have way more Mountains

if only the Californians didn't raid CO there'd be some good land here too

@Loren is going to be my neighbor

@OOX of Flames I live near a pretty large town/towns so no village starting required:)

yeah I like that strategy

so you can be as close to town as you want to be

but everyone's still at most a half hour or so out

Exactly

so we could still meet up once a month or participate in politics

You plan on driving 30-40 minutes to go visit people but it's not bad.

For sure. We meet up with a couple families once a month just for that. Fellowship with like-minded people.

I know 3 men who are currently running, or have already ran and won, in the local politics.

wow that's beautiful

46 acres

still awesome

needs moar trees

lots of grazing for cattle though:)

wonder about water...

Seems to be about 1000 per acre in idaho

Would it be too invasive to ask for everyone's savings at some point?

or we could start some online website like gofundme where there's no time limit and we just keep socking money away in it with no risk involved?

the money issue is a big one

we have some savings put away for this, but it's for our own piece of land

putting it all into a pool and then divvying it up almost always leads to tension and animosity

we might have better luck achieving a point of saturation within a region

in other words, we all move up to a general location, all within a half hour drive to a smallish town, or something like that

so we each buy our own lots in places that fit our own budgets

I think that works better than a "commune." Mostly because of the animosity thing:) Dividing a big chunk of land, 200-300 acres, with 2-3 families would probably be doable.

why would we pool money?

it's a common thing people who do this kind of thing tend to do

and it would get us onto some land quicker

Im just buying the land and letting other NS live on a rent scenario

Enough rent to pay their share in income tax, maybe more to build a permaculture or community funds

I'd like to get a big chunk of land and put some rental cabins and stuff on there, to bnb it out, and also hold events and workshops

that's my plan
