Wish I could buy land to live on at that kinda rate. Or even just to enjoy it and let wildflowers grow! In the UK its orders of magnitude more expensive.

The US has large areas with very cheap land. The problem is that there are generally no jobs in the area, and the land doesn't come with water rights, so you can't make a living as a farmer.

In this case, it's a group of people getting to buy back land that was stolen from them during California's genocidal phase.

I would take no jobs and no mains water very happily for land that cheap. A single acre of woodland here, so you can't farm there either, costs tens of thousands. Even in the remote parts of the country.

Its great that they can get it though.

Taking back the country, bit by bit.
