I bought land for $60,000. I plan to spend $100,000 on materials, utilities, fees etc and construct it myself. I want to start a revolution and want to enable people to escape the system for what is a typical down payment in most large cities today.
I was facing that choice myself: build or buy. I can do either with what I have and after much consideration, the only moral choice I can accept for myself is to build.
I feel very fortunate that I have that choice. I know others don't and so now my life mission is to bring that choice to more people and in doing so fight what I believe is causing harm to our society: the banks.
- dragosmocrii 7y agoIn some cities if you buy land, you have to build on it within a limited timeframe.

There's a lot of land for sale outside cities as well with few and sometimes no restrictions even beyond time limits. Community covenants can be quite restrictive in some areas yes.
