What is the draw of your current location?
It's cheap and right outside the edge of town, so I can do whatever I want, but don't have to drive an hour to work. Even buildling stuff, or working on the house, there's nobody enforcing permits n stuff. I can park the camper on the side of the house, tractors in the yard. I couldn't handle living in a subdivision or in town with all the rules n stuff.
Taxes have nearly tripled since I moved in though, so the cheap part is starting to fade. Was $800/year, now I'm up to $2100/year. Still less than when I lived in Illinois, on a quarter acre lot, taxes were $8k/year on a $100k house. I'm on 4 acres in a $90k house paying $2k/yr.
I really like being able to shoot **** off my back porch though. Don't think I'd ever move somewhere I can't do that.
If/when I move, I'll be looking for 20+ acres. Preferably with a 1 mile or longer driveway and no visible neighbors.
