We are in the process of downsizing our "in town" digs (recent empty nesters) and looking at rural properties.
At some point we'll begin to split our time between town and rural but have rural as a fall back if we needed it.
As I said in a recent post, if I wanted to get really off the grid, I'd be looking at Wyoming or Montanna.
I agree that it's telling to see rational, educated, professionals come to the the place where they feel they need to be "off the grid" to some extent.

Re: Black Activists Call for Lynching and Hanging of White People and Cops
Thanks for the heads up on property values but our definition of "off the grid" would be something in Wyoming or Montanna.VMI77 wrote:Not completely off the grid but I live out in the country. My taxes keep going up. Property valuations have increased an average of 40% a year over the past 6 years. I thought it might have something to do with Eagle Ford shale but the local tax appraiser says it's because people in the Houston area are paying whatever the asking price is to get acreage out in the country. He told me that almost every sale that has been used to establish market value has been to someone from the Houston area, none to any oil company. I'd guess this is probably happening around all the large urban areas, so if you're thinking about getting out of town you might want to start looking for property.RJGold wrote:Mrs. RJ and I joke sometimes about going "off the grid"...

Re: Black Activists Call for Lynching and Hanging of White People and Cops
When does rhetoric protected by the 1st Amendment become a terroristic threat? I would think someone holding a weapon and shouting at police that he intended to kill police would approach that line...
