Eh, maybe. I'm wary of romanticizing the situation. There's an island, once privately owned but bought back by the Italian government for several million €, which is part of a national park set up to preserve the ecosystem. And by

The article definitely appeals to anyone with a Robinson Crusoe fantasy. Framed less generously, you could be reading about a squatter on public land supported by bi-weekly food shipments. Somewhat related, the homesteading culture is prett

Therein lies the beauty of these types of posts. They allow the reader to fill in the gaps with their own conclusions without the author risking actual opinion.
