cheap land and all white
I'm a big fan. And, oddly enough, Paoli has a ski resort, a casino, a marina, and a pretty solid public school all in the county.
nice
So you get the whiteness that appalachian poverty guarantees without being totally deprived of things to do.
It looks like an amazing place to live and start a family
As long as the Internet is solid I can work
The big complaint about the place from folks who've moved from afar is how ugly we all are.
I thought I was handsome until I grew up and traveled around. Turns out I was only handsome for a Paolian.
That's one of the reasons I actually chose to live in town rather than rurally. I've got natural gas service and quality cable internet. You can achieve that without being right in town, but it requires some research and hustling.
Perfect
I work from home, so it doesn't really matter where I am
and I was shocked when I started looking up property values
Same here. I've got my van set up with a camping chair, folding table, and battery pack so I can even do my job while camping and traveling. As long as I've got 4G, I can be at work.
nice
Just bear in mind that the property values always match the local economy. Cost of living is low, but the job market's crappy. If you've got a sweet homesource job, you can make out like a bandit.
yeah I get paid NY wages
and work from home
IT
I bought 1.5 acres with a decent house (that needed repairs) and two livable mobile homes on it right in town for $52k. Can't achieve that kind of win where the economy's strong.
Just don't bring in Mexican landscapers and housecleaners when you come. 😄
probably over 400K
Ive got welding skills
The Ohio guys are big on metalwork.
Might want to hit up @Tony Hovater about that.
goverment pretty lax in ohio
Ohio's John Kasich's empire of lumbergian "compassionate conservatism."
Contrary to what the name might lead you to believe, Indiana is entirely devoid of Indians.
ah ive got a while yet as I thought I would build a life in this stupid state but im just getting old and watching time fly by
Is West KY/Southern IN technically Appalachia or technically just out of bounds?
Sociologically and historically, it's Greater Appalachia.
Fair.
Pretty much the same Anglo-Celtic stock and cultural memory, ...just less majestic scenery.
Which IT branch is best? Network Admin, Security, etc.
In my opinion, the most flexible bet is web app, mobile app, and dapp development.
Those are the best for being a homesourced racist who does his job in athleisure pajamas.
These different "tracks" seem almost unnecessary. I bet they could combine a couple.
actually a useful template for the future Balkanization
Yup.
