We rent. Our landlord's trying to get us to buy the house that we've been renting for the last five years, but he wants way too much. I figure once the crypto-haul comes in maybe I can think about being a homeowner. ;)
It's pretty expensive to live here. Cost of living is pretty high, and outside cannabis, there's not much work.
We're thinking Colorado or Maine... the thing about Maine is you can still get Land for $500+ to $1,000 an acre... Also legal there; 6 mature plants per adult in the household, 12 in veg, unlimited seedlings.. and there is already a strong Homesteading Tradition... Following you...
