Potlatch is really, really low in population

2017-10-10 21:38:06 UTC  

and it might be too small for our people to find good work

2017-10-10 21:38:58 UTC  

that would be a good target if we wanted to take over completely

2017-10-10 21:40:52 UTC  

pop is 804, i dont expect anything near that many people to be with us

2017-10-10 21:42:04 UTC  

but if enough of our guys move out there and we get active politically, then yeah it could happen

2017-10-10 21:42:19 UTC  

but, again, the economic factor is limiting

2017-10-10 21:42:36 UTC  

so it's just something to think about

2017-10-10 21:43:06 UTC  

I think it would work best if we chose a decently sized city, and moved there or the surrounding lands

2017-10-10 21:43:45 UTC  

because for most people, it's a big deal to have access to good shopping and such

2017-10-10 21:44:13 UTC  

well being in a decent sized city pretty much defeats the purpose

2017-10-10 21:44:34 UTC  

its true

2017-10-10 21:44:43 UTC  

I think there are places that strike a good balance

2017-10-10 21:45:03 UTC  

and my hope is that most people will be somewhat self-sufficient

2017-10-10 21:45:53 UTC  

Maybe we can pick a specific small town next to one of these cities

2017-10-10 21:46:03 UTC  

like maybe a half hour or so away

2017-10-10 21:46:21 UTC  

so people could still commute if they want to

2017-10-10 21:46:58 UTC  

something like that

2017-10-10 21:47:05 UTC  

well potlatch is about 15 mils from Moscow ID

2017-10-10 21:47:36 UTC

2017-10-10 21:47:43 UTC  

bingo... found it!

2017-10-10 21:47:46 UTC  

this is our home.

2017-10-10 21:47:47 UTC  

lol

2017-10-10 21:48:07 UTC  

it looks like its entirely sparse suburbs

2017-10-10 21:49:18 UTC  

and it doesnt looks like theres any farming going on there, probably for a good reason

2017-10-10 21:49:55 UTC  

another one we have considered is Mossy Rock WA

2017-10-10 21:50:04 UTC  

or any town in that valley

2017-10-10 21:50:40 UTC  

interesting choice

2017-10-10 21:52:22 UTC  

We gotta think about the economic opportunities if this thing is going to have any legs

2017-10-10 21:52:43 UTC  

we can grow food pretty much anywhere if we're in a good grow zone

2017-10-10 21:53:16 UTC  

this is good tho, it's good we disagree somewhat on this, and that we have different things we're looking for

2017-10-10 21:53:39 UTC  

the reason I like it is because its not very populated, has great natural obstacles, lots of freshwater and timber as well as a few dams

2017-10-10 21:53:40 UTC  

it's going result in making a better decision in the end

2017-10-10 21:53:52 UTC  

those are important considerations

2017-10-10 21:54:11 UTC  

It does look like a place you could go full Varg

2017-10-10 21:54:21 UTC  

which is where I eventially want to end up

2017-10-10 21:54:22 UTC  

downside is its a bit expensive

2017-10-10 21:54:56 UTC  

but its probably expensive for a reason, like the good climate and rainfall

2017-10-10 21:55:07 UTC  

full Varg?

2017-10-10 21:55:20 UTC  

oh right

2017-10-10 21:55:22 UTC  

that dude
