Housing prices are too high in the city and surrounding it.
People need to spread out, but they fear emergencies...
A small hospital, grocery, hardware store should be
spread out in remote regions for a chance for
people to build by themselves.
Inconveniences does not outweigh the benefits.
But especially in this digital information age,
and all the technology there for self-sustenance.
Sure, job prospects. But even by commute,
or as a secondary home until transitioning into
full self-sustenance....
It's worth the investment.
Which isn't for everyone, but many would also benefit...
