Counter-economics is my middle name.
Land is reasonably affordable where I am, especially in terrain that's not perfectly suited for cornfields.
And weed isn't the only option. Herbs, veggies, mushrooms, coppiced timber, even secondary industries.
in the mountain of galicia you can get the same plot for 300 euros
300 € for a 2500 m² plot (0.25 ha or 0.625 acres)? That's unbelievably cheap, less than the plane ticket there.
Also my networks already have land, plus more that they're accumulating.
When I'm depressed i go there.

Ok maybe I exagerated with that 300 euros things.I hacked the website by removing a zero into the URL to match my budget lmao. I bet if i have a plot near a surf spot I can open an airbnb for rich australians having the surf curse. You know, all aussies are destined to wander around looking for the perfect wave and they're always loaded. I suspect its the guilt of being landthiefs
Peeked around there and the first thing I found that didn't have shape or accessibility issues was about 20k € per hectare, a couple more were 30k/ha.
I've seen lots of rural land in the Midwest selling for about $10k/acre ($25k/ha).
corn huh? sounds like middle earth
nah land here is full. my buddy found a plot for his mum, in the forest. It's 60k away from everything and its something like 50 yards on 50.
