Comment on We can play that game too

You’d have to buy your own land, of course.
But you could buy a tiny plot in the middle of nowhere, not hook up any utilities or have roads, and just live off your land if you wanted.
There are small parcels in the middle of noplace that nobody wants because there are no roads, utilities, or other services.

Small parcels? Australia and many other places are pretty much empty. And yes, nobody wants to be there for a reason.

Yeah, but the ‘nobody wants to be there for a reason’ is my whole point.
It will absolutely suck for you. That’s why civilisation is better, and also why we have to make some concessions to be in a society.
There’s literally no utopia where everything is perfect. There literally never was.
If you want societal amenities, you have to pay for them in some small way, and if you don’t, your like will be very hard. Those have always been the choices.

I know. I just wanted to point out that the are huge swaths of land that are empty, not buy tiny patches.
