Ah yes, thanks to nepotism she has... a square of 22 meters side in the middle of nowhere.
Dude you can buy a whole hectare (10000 m2) of fertile soil for 10k-20k USdollars. In the middle of nowhere, of course.
Then purchasing a plot like this should cost 1k US dollars including taxes, shenanigans and shit. That's it.
If the revolution never happens, I'd like to at least buy an hectare to plant trees so they can throw my corpse there.
Edit: Fuck, cropland it's even cheaper in the US: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiK8ZiY7Iv0AhU0GbkGHTzNDiAQFnoECBAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nass.usda.gov%2FPublications%2FTodays_Reports%2Freports%2Fland0821.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3NuVYpkZeYP_q7MtiYuuL4
It's ridiculously cheap what the fuck is going on?
Idk man, I'm actually surprised how cheap farmland is in the US. Of course nobody sells anything smaller than 100 acres but what the heck a lot of weirdos would like to have a piece of land to plant trees and call "theirs" (I mean, weirdos like me)
turns out, living with no infrastructure or services (like electricity, communications, or paved roads) blows. even freaks like me who enjoy subsistence agriculture and crunchy living have our limits.
a small plot of land zoned for a homesite within a 30 minute drive of a store and an hour of a hospital is considerably more expensive than the average "per acre" value of prime ag land of massive lots in the unincorporated community of West Jerkwater, Iowa.
is it cheaper than an apartment in NYC? sure. but the price point of a homestead in the US is by no means "cheap" globally, especially because other (normal) countries have programs to create paths to land in small farming communities.
we just let those communities collapse into diseases of despair as large holders swallow up small farms falling into bankruptcy and suicide.

Of course. I don't mean for people to move to homesteads and stop wearing glasses, I just think it's weird that buying useless land *somewhere* just to flex it isn't "a thing".
Man I heard you could buy a tungsten dice or whatever, and I thought about buying one because like, that's kind of neat to have a surprisingly heavy little marble thing
But apparently its this insane Crypto-bro-Elon-simp-Libertarian cult practice, like the weight gives them some kind of spiritual awakening, and they just started selling NFTs that let you touch a large heavy cube once a year -- literally just reinventing the Hajj, like,
Farmland is cheap because modern farming capital is insanely expensive (machinery, chemicals, transpo and storage). Less infrastructure out in the boonies also keeps the price low. I am a city slicker myself so don't take my word for it, but the profit margins for small farmers have been shrinking and shrinking for decades so only giant ag corpos can compete. That's not to mention the bullshit that large ag companies put onto small farmers to squeeze any small profit they have out of them. I'm talking John Deere prevent workers from repairing their tractors or Monsanto copyrighting seeds genetic code then suing for profits when their seeds naturally spread to small farms.

Hi, I'd like one normal country, please :doomjak:

and stop wearing glasses, I just think it's weird that buying useless land *somewhere* just to flex it isn't "a thing".Owning a piece of forest is way cooler flex than tungsten cubes or even fucking Teslas, but idk, I don't pay for jpgs

I always think about buying a little chunk of land somewhere and just going out to camp and read for a while.

But most crops aren't irrigated.
