How They Are Going To Steal Our Homes

What they are making the area into, is far from what I wanted when I moved out here. I moved from the city, but the city moved to me.

I am looking for another place, out in the boonies, that may be able to stay country long enough the my time on this plane is up. I know that it will all fall under the thumb of the establishment eventually. I just hope I am not here to see it.

Yeah, the boonies are the way to go. The key I think is to pick a place in an area no one wants to be in.While taxes on my patch of wilderness have gone up astronomically in relative terms compared to what they used to be - around a 300% increased over the last 20 years - in absolute terms they are still pretty low because no one wants to be out there, making the land relatively valueless, which keeps the taxes low. The taxes on 34 acres out there run around 120-130 bucks a year, not a bank-breaking soul-crushing amount.

Economically depressed area, no job prospects for 100 or 150 miles, no one wants to live there because living off the land is the only option, and that takes pretty intensive labor. Farming, hunting, and foraging are the only means of survival, surrounded for 100 miles in all directions by armed and grouchy hillbillies. That's why it's my ace in the hole - not only does no one want to live there now, no one is ever gonna want to live there.

Yeah that sounds a lot like where I live now. Nothing but woods and swamps. Closest anything about 45 minutes to an hour away. Nobody wanted to live out here and we were the butt of many a joke, for a long time.

Until big business moved in. Bought up the swamps built ridiculously expensive gated communities, office buildings, a mall, and schools.

In less than twenty years I have seen the place transform at a speed that I had only seen in the movies. Now they are talking about building section eight housing, because all the wealthy people that have moved out here, have priced the workers out the market.

It is too damn far away for someone to drive to work for minimum wage, so now they have to build in a solution to the worker crisis. I have seen a very large increase in immigrant workers. You would think there would be less, since they built up the majority of the farm land, but I guess they can still find work, when the American worker is priced our of a location, and it is too far to travel for less money than it takes to get back and forth from work.
