LOGIC💣I’m way to old to be a Millennial, so I obviously can’t directly sympathize, but the ridiculous prices today really trigger the introvert side of me. I have this strong desire to move somewhere that land is still very cheap and become a crazy hermit who lives in a shed or something.
Well it’s telling that all of the rich investment banker types always eventually quit and start a hobby farm in the country.
The general feeling seems to be that agriculture was a good idea, but we took things too far with this whole civilisation thing.
Nah screw that. The issue is not enough cities, and the solution is certainly not further unsustainable sprawl
I suppose it depends a bit. Most of the people who want a hobby farm also want the amenities that big cities offer, so the hobby farms tend to be at the edges of the outer-ring suburbs which could be considered sprawl. There’s also working farms in those sorts of areas, but I’d not call that sprawl since those farms are using the land productively and in most cases were there long before the suburbs started encroaching on them.
A rural hobby farm out in the middle of nowhere I’d be less inclined to call sprawl.
