You wouldn't care for Iowa much, it's mostly flat, and not much there other than pigs, and corn.Mel Gibson wrote: ↑June 7th, 2020, 3:45 am The good news for you two is that you have so many more options available than most of the Western world does, to find the right place for a relatively affordable price! Unlike Europe, you have plenty of lebensraum... Unlike Canada, your land mass is more hospitable! Ya, we have plenty of room here, but it's often in truly remote, truly brutal conditions, especially in Winter! Satellite internet is a thing here... Shit, I'm on dish to tower for the net, and there is no cell service here! And this is actually a high end rural area! Properties here do NOT sell for less than $400,000 CDN, to put that in perspective... That said, it's all White here, so obviously there's a price to pay for that! Living in Mayberry doesn't come cheap, no matter where you are... (And this truly is Mayberry here, and I can prove it!)
In the US, I could probably find the equivalent property for half price... You guys have Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, etc... These states I'd love to live in! You have choices that I don't, for a cost much less than here!
Family is hard to be far away from though...
I was thinking the 4 corners in Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, or Montana when younger.
Here in Kentucky it's getting harder to get away, land I was looking at 35 years ago is now all bought up, and full of housing.
I would have been rich now selling that 200 acres I was looking at for $750 an acre, it goes for about 20 to 25 K now.
The real key is when you move move where they don't rent property out, and the housing is to much for Hud rent.
Move to an upper end area you have less of the issues with scumbag lowlifes, but you still have your snobs, and a-holes that usually isn't a mess though like project scum.
