Certainly there are those who have the means to purchase already existing property, and there are those who do not have the capital, but the “brawn”… and there are “dying” communities all over, waiting to be revived. The “guvment” isn’t going to do this, but the People CAN.
IOW, you have a place that needs People, and you are not looking to profit off the venture, you are only wishing to show the world how it’s done.
This could take place anywhere… in the cities, in the suburbs, out in the boondocks. “Build it, and we will show up,… just tell Us where”
