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.

Any time I have a piece of this feeling I’m reminded of the most underappreciated technological and society development: the flush toilet.
Its freakin’ magic that usually requires a functioning municipality to run dependably and cheaply. I just don’t think I can live a life long term without it.
You can of have flushing toilets with a septic tank. It doesn’t have to be an outhouse.
I agree you can have flush toilets without municipal water or sewage, but therea septic tank solution that subtract from the “easy” part I was referring to with the municipal sewage solution.
With municipal sewage I’ve never had to change a failing septic tank macerator or worry about a impacts to the leech field. This says nothing about the regular pumping needed to maintain a septic tank.
I’ve never had to get my septic cleaned or serviced in over twenty years. Flush an enzyme pack every three months, it’ll never build up to needing flushed unless required when selling one day. I’ve had to replace a well pump once, really easy one day job. I’m sure municipal water and sewage is nice but I’ve never had either, pushing fifty years old. I never realized anyone considered these things difficult or complicated, I’m an idiot and never run into anything I couldn’t service myself.
