I SUPPOSE we'll welcome you...
... but don't tell anybody else. We have our hands full trying to deal with the Californians.
Hinterlands is best flavor and value, generally speaking.
I'd not live in the metro area if I didn't have kids/grandkids that I get along with pretty well. Were I a GRUMPY person (like SOME people), I'd be surrounded by large trees and some water and have to drive a bit to get groceries, preferably without having to pass anybody on the road on the way.

cool, I vaguely remember that project of his (but was always a fan)...
... I've also seen a YT where some off-the-grid couple are trying to homestead. They have chosen to make their home and side buildings with big, thick walls that are
long plastic(?) tubes that they fill with dirt and tamp down, work around walls, another layer, etc.
climate is always a driver when building "homes"

IDK if it's any good, I just enjoy seeing others work...
... and let my mind consider the possibilities.
Some variation on Weaver's concept?

I've always thought that, IF you have the right layout of land...
... I would have about HALF of the house/building carved out of or in to a hill.
@dictatordave @Mister_Sunshine
IDK about your concerns specifically...
... have read about wild/sad situations around the state. Where-ever you consider, ask about
