Ever compare crime stats from typical suburbs and typical "I'm living on 30ac in a trailer" lands? Enjoy your new neighbors picrel. The ones that aren't going to murder you for meth money are probably cool.
>>2417178Comfy suburbs are comfy. There's a middle ground between literal nowhere and the inner city that's nice. It can be suburban or just urban-adjacent rural, but you can't easily afford big acreage in those areas, on account of them being nice to live in.
Land prices are the end output of hundreds of millions of people collectively machine-learning the value of any given plot of land over decades.
If it costs $3000 per acre, there's a host of reasons why.
But if you're that outside the norm, maybe you can arbitrage lifestyles.
