After learning about a few aspects of Japanese real estate (depreciating houses, near abandoned properties in the countryside), I wonder what it would take for a foreign hacker commune to basically buy up an empty village in a remote part of Japan (cheap!) and get going there?
- mikekchar 10y agoThere apparently is one: http://www.hackerfarm.jp/about-us/ http://www.hackerfarm.jp/about-us/ I don't know anything about it. Someone mentioned it to me a while ago. I'm hoping to wander down there and chat to them sometime. They seem interesting.
