I Am An Emergency Prepper

Gf and I are looking to buy an old abandoned/ghost town.

The goal is to turn it into a libertarian paradise and much as possible anyway.
One thing we plan on doing is leasing land as bugout locations, which will include municipal upkeep for those not currently inhabiting them.

Or if you just want a new start you’ll have a town to move to where people particularly those running things think about emergencies realistically we might be creating the place for you.

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

i know a LOT about this, Part of a number of intentional communities.
I was a member of the LP many years ago, a more inclusive org at the time.
There are a lot of factors, depending on how big yo9ur community is to be
the real key is WHERE do you hope to do this, and how many skills/people have signed up.

If your serious, shoot m a message, I fin that public discusion of plans tends to devolve into Humor or Rancor

@SatyrService we intend to be an incorporated town, but we will simply be very welcoming to preppers, rather than trying to build a survivalist/prepper community.

We’re not rich so there has to be a way for us to pay off the loan to buy a ghost town lol

you shuold stay OUT of incorporation, draws the wrong attention.
it is hard to find a "ghost town" you can just buy.
most ar tied up somewhat.
but allacross the wst are town, not ghost, but dwindleing

@SatyrService as an incorporated town you don't have to pay property taxes and i don't have the money to pay those kinds of taxes lol.

@JohnPJones there are ways out of property taxes. Incorporation will get you more, governmental attention. HUGE differences, depending on what state you look in.
If you don't mind, dealing with beaurocracy, an LLC or similar usage, can deal with a lot of these.
What size of community do you hope for?
What region do you favor.

@SatyrService like i said planning for more than just a prepper community, if it grew beyond a small town I’d be fine with that.

@JohnPJones have you a "quorum" now? say 3=5 people with sufficient interest?
May I assume a nautical background from your name? common terminology can be useful
