The catch is that you must not be in an incorporated city or town, and income limits apply (based on your area’s COL).

That's a pretty big catch. Or 2 catches, as it would seem to be.

It is viable for many, but it's not a generally-applicable solution.

Sure, but more options are better, and there's tons of non incorporated areas. I'm 45 minutes away from Seattle and in one, for example.
