I spent some time out in the desert on a 5 acre parcel I purchased outright. There were neighbors about a quarter of a mile away and I drove into town every few days. I think complete isolation is probably a different story but low population density doesn't necessarily mean you don't have as many interactions - I actually had more contact with my neighbors out there than I would in an apartment complex.
- xxxdarrenxxx 9y agoTrue, I liked it though, but it wasn't populated all year through. When there were some people in up season it was alright. I just interpreted off-the-grid not just by it's mechanical definition, but also conceptually.
- newman8r 9y agoYeah people interpret the term in different ways. Personally, I just consider it to mean living on property that doesn't have utility easements on it. Generally that will put you in an area with a lot of open space.
