I'm coming from Long Island, I'll play my tiny fiddle about the housing prices for you.

Let me know when you buy your homestead, a couple of my buddies and I are gonna do some Green Mountain Boys and Ethan Allen re-enactments.

>Lived 10 years in a neighborhood where MS-13 carved up 4 kids with machetes down the block, shootings were a weekly occurrence, and had to have a baseball bat handy to deal with the crack heads strung out from the drug dealer living next door. Sorry bunch of country bumpkins with a military fetish doesn't really scare me.

I'll take things that never happened for $500, Alex.
The only person you're lying to is yourself. There are a lot of "country bumpkins" out here, with military experience and unrelated fetishes.

Point is your lame ass threat of violence isn't scaring someone from the hoods of NY man.

Point is, I don't care. You'll learn, one way or another.

all this happened next door to 700k property?

Nope, lived there for 10 years so I could afford the new house.

with that attitude you're sure to get a warm welcome from your neighbors. remember there's no such thing as "self sufficiency", you need a community. good luck.

Facts, community is key in survival and a huge part of the culture here.

Community of likeminded individuals with useful skills. Nobody wants regular Joe-shmoe's wasting their resources.

Yeah the "self sufficiency" thing is kinda bs. More of a fantasy prepper types have. If there was a societal collapse (unlikely) people who work together as small communities will probably be the ones who thrive. Prepper types will either run out of their rations and homestead types would just get taken over by said communities lmao. Also some dude from long island is not gonna have a self sufficient farm in VT. Especially after climate collapse.
There really has never been a time in history where solitary humans were the ones that thrived.

Long Island is going to be heavily impacted by hurricanes and climate change in the coming decades. Also I want a big piece of land to have my little farmstead on, and basically impossible on Long Island. I paid 700K for a 1 Acre property here.

I'm not whining about it like the people in this thread are. I'm moving to a place I can afford what I want.
