Baltimore, MD has $1 houses as well. They expect you to a certain number of upgrades on it within a specific time. Some say it is actually more expensive in the overall analysis than buying a regular house.
- arthurcolle 1y agoCan I turn them into server farms?
- jboggan 1y agoSure, if you can design a server farm with no copper wiring in it
- chupasaurus 1y agoGolden wires in $1 house sounds about right.
- neutronicus 1y agoAlmost certainly not, $1 houses in Baltimore at this point (there were some good deals decades ago) are often ones requiring significant work just to be weather-tight, structurally sound, etc. And of course it becomes clear that no one is there and they are full of valuable hardware some problems may result, as the other commenter points out. Lastly, our electricity rates are almost certainly not cost-effective for this purpose.
- bee_rider 1y agoI don’t think it is designed for that. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/how-to-buy-baltimore-city-1-dollar-vacant-houses-sale/60539429 https://www.wbaltv.com/article/how-to-buy-baltimore-city-1-d... > "All vacant sales must be redeveloped for residential or mixed-use. That includes residential or green space. So, this program is not for commercial properties. It's only for residential properties at this point in time," Department of Housing and Community Development official Kate Edwards said. Maybe if you wanted to live with your servers? Would a server farm on the first floor, and an apartment on the second count, I wonder? Free radiant floor heating, if so…
- arthurcolle 1y agoYeah, we could dual-use the server farms, I am open to this. We could maybe do a sustainable living co-op with free heating and solar panels to sell back energy to the grid. We could transform Baltimore into the city of the future I will look into this
- monster_truck 1y agoI would be impressed if you could get the power company to give you more than 100A at any single residential address in those zips
- arthurcolle 1y agoCan I daisy chain a few of them together at least?
- segmondy 1y agoYup, you have to look at the total cost, and also consider things like safety.
