People aren't down voting because they don't think the properties exist, they're down voting because your argument doesn't really make sense. People that are saying, "I'd rather just live in the wilderness" are not the ones that can afford to just purchase land. You almost will certainly have to pay taxes on the land as well.

Saying you can not participate in society by participating in society very hard so you can afford to participate a little less and a little further from society isn't what these people are looking for, they want to hop in a truck with some tools, drive into the woods, never to be seen again. Without a million dollar piece of paper saying they're allowed to.

I like how your dream of self-sufficiency starts with there being g a road you can drive on. Or do you think most woods are reasonable places for driving trucks? You'd be better off buying a donkey or mule. Worst case scenario, you'd have a bit more meat to eat before you starved.

I was speaking figuratively, but if you want to be literal, I never said anything about a road, and there's many kinds of trucks that can drive over many types of terrain.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 1 points 2 days ago

The kind of truck that can handle any kinds of undeveloped forest are more expensive than the land you say is too expensive for the people who would want to do what you're saying. So, unrealistic expectations all around.

Again, not what I said. A second hand F150 or Tacoma will get you damn near anywhere you want to go that is not heavily forested and is certainly cheaper than a plot of land. You're trying to pick minute details of my comments and blow them up into the most literal sense of the words yet somehow failing to actually read what I'm saying.

At this point the conversation is a day old and the chance of actually interesting dialogue coming from it is practically zero, so any further misreadings will have to be done on your own.

Well yeah, I get that. But there are plots for really cheap, but they don’t have any kind of access to water, sewage, or whatever. Plots for like 10,000 or less. That sounds like a lot, I suppose, but it isn’t. I think it’s more that people don’t understand how money works,
