KrameriTown!
Or is that St. Elmo, Colorado?
I want to buy a ghost town in Japan.
There are thousands all over the countryside and up in the mountains. The rice patties only need a little care to get them going again and you have 10-15 houses in different statuses of disrepair to choose from.
There are quite a few of them in PA. Trouble is, you’re accountable to some local or regional govt which will be on you like ants. Fix this, fix that. Spend a fortune doing it. Liability issues keep you awake all night. Insurance is a nightmare. And if you get all that addressed, environmental issues crop up. Eventually you will find you can’t please everyone, they’ve more pockets than you have dollars.
If it’s worth saving/restoring, it’s probably on the radar of some historical society anyway. And they’re worse than HOA’s.
Cheaper by far to buy some vacant land and build your own ghost town.
Fun fantasy, but unless you have the funds and self contained resources, it is only a dream.
Abandoned Titan missal bases are more my cup of tea.
St. Elmo is cool I’ve been there several times. Hard to get to. Part of it burned down a few years ago.
YOOPER Michigan has some
I’m saving up to buy Petticoat Junction. The railroad runs right by it, it has a hotel and water storage tanks.
The article mentions Cleator AZ. It is pretty cool place, working bar and closed general store, few other buildings and residents. Great place for off-roading.
Still on sale.
The price is kind of steep though. They lower it to a million now.
The area is very conservative, you would probably like the neighbors.
How much for CNN? It’s pretty much a ghost town...
Ben Wheeler TX is not a ghost town. There are real businesses and services there.
Possible ping for your lists.
The unasked question in this essay is "why?". Why does owning (and I would assume living in) a ghost town sound great? What is the appeal?
The obvious answer to me is regulation (or control if you will). Having your say over how you live is good but getting out from under oppressive government is great.
I've watched numerous Ghost Town videos on u-toob and admit that I was attracted to the idea of bugging out to somewhere where it was me who had authority over my surroundings and circumstances and not some degenerate libtard. Unfortunately reality keeps intruding onto my daydreams.
There's a reason why ghost towns are that way. For one reason or another they are communities that failed. They are usually remotely located and hostile to normal living. You can't just hop in the car and visit the corner grocery. And don't get sick - remember you are many miles from help.
Kinda looks like the set of “High Plains Drifter’’.
