I run a bunch of websites. Basically, I do some surveys and provide information for consumers. I monetize it through affiliate links. Adsense won't make it profitable enough and people is not willing to pay for that info. If they drop

Exactly, I won't trust a company based in the US my privacy, no matter how cool it is. Maybe for stuff that requires convenience but not security. I don't trust any five eyes country neither. I currently use Swiss and Romanian ser

That's exactly my experience. I contributed to spanish Wikipedia several times. I don't really see the barrier. Yet I read about wikipedia and women again and again.

Transfer times are a bit too much. Rail doesn't seem prepared to international travel.

Yeah, good luck next time a tech-savvy has to recommend a Google product or something else.

Cool for them, but that hurts my wallet. I never felt safe using google products, and the only one I paid for (adwords) decreased in quality, so...

That's a bit of a strech. You can definitely be 50km away of everything in Galicia, and probably way more in Castilla. It's true that population is more dispersed in the northwest though.

There's communal property in Spain, but That's tipically for shared land, forests and so on. I don't think you can build on that, so that would be a private property, yes.

Well, it's inconvenient but in many regions you can call for a doctor visit, for example. The Castilla y León healthcare system has rural doctors that visit this places periodically.

There are plenty of small villages like that. You can even expect DSL from 1 to 6mbps, and 3G depending on the size of the place. Some of them even more. The vacuum is mostly in Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha. As some of you may kno

The problem is not a technical one, but a legal one. There are very few empty buildings in most euro cities, and people is typically reluctant to get out because of the hassle it causes them. If there is a run down and empty building, then

I considered it many times, but I'd be very stretched out on money (I won't save that much compared to my current rent, and I'll have to put a lot of money upfront). Also, there's the problem of getting a mortgage, and p

You can build new apartments and sell them. I see no problem in there.

It depends if current tenant/investors are impacted or not. If they aren't, the supply of rentable houses won't change, or at least not decrease.

There's no unlimited supply of land. And there's a limited distance that citizens can travel before that impacts their lifestyle or behavior. Also, if you wanted to build higher buildings to accommodate more people in the same spa

I'd still lean towards Iceland, Switzerland or Romania, although I'm still not sure if I should trust any EU country over this topics.

> and access to support folks This is key. Support people is the ones that talk with customers, and know what's going on. Their experience is key. In most companies this people is low-pay look-down people, gets tired quickly etc.
