 Love the idea of a network of properties.  I’d like to buy the key lots/properties of a small town (“town takeover”) as my approach to a family & friend citadel. 
 "Takeover" and jump starting local circular economy sounds more realistic than building on the green fields in terms of some real economic sustainability to me.

The specialization of labor works better if you have 1-5k people than 10-20. 
 Agreed.  Only problem is that I don’t have 1k friends… 
 - Move into a 1K mountain town
- Get a lease over the local pub. Or create a new one
- Push Bitcoin through discounts to them, setup meetups/education, organize non-bitcoin events
- Create 1k Bitcoin/Sovereign minded friends

*If there's a trailer park / campground, I'm moving over to help run it 
 I will let you know!!  The region I’m focusing on is in between the Berkshire mtns in MA and the Hudson Valley/Catskills in NY.  It won’t be cheap necessarily but there’s some big parcels available and I can get a foothold if bitcoin runs like I hope… 
 Never been around there, but sounds interesting. 
 wow, this is such an interesting concept and I've thought about this myself. Taking over an old rust belt town.
