"Move to where you can do this if your local environment is too expensive or restrictive. Move to a new country if needed."
Sounds like typical American arrogance.
Everything you mentioned about building up a piece of land from zero, is predicated on a stable legal and economic framework, that protects and values private property. And every country that has that framework, tends to have high land prices already. Try this in some non-developed country, and you'll soon see why the world is considered unjust.
The issue is that folks who "try that in a non developed country" often know what they need to do to protect their own private property, which is to hire thugs who will shoot at folks who try to squat.
It’s really not that bad. Instead of paying property taxes like you would in a developed nation, you just make small contributions to political campaigns and help to build a new cuartel for the police in your local town. It’s way less expensive than property taxes and you get very personalised services when your name is engraved on the local police station.
lol. Sounds like typical developing nation defeatism .
I am doing it right now in a developing nation.
I settled here on Hispaniola in 2007.
I am working and living right now in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We’re building up new infrastructure in agriculture, education, and startup incubation. We have already launched a couple of successful ventures.
Here are not the least stable places, but they’re hardly the most stable either. But the rewards are huge for those that can stomach the risks.
Anyone who wants to try this needs to watch and internalise the film “empire of dust” (2013). It’s
A documentary about how to not succeed in a developing nation.
There’s basically zero competition at the early stages because, like you, no one thinks you can do anything.
My kids have established a beachhead in Mauritius and northern India, and we are looking at Madagascar and some demographically collapsing areas in the eastern United States as a possible next step.
