I am starting to think that the only way to live now is off the electrical grid on a piece of totally undeveloped land, in trailer because most states/counties don’t tax “wheeled” dwellings. Any social/business interaction at all, real estate, electricity etc. is now not worth what you get for it.
Locally, our electric and water bills look like Christmas trees of government fees and speciality projects, most of which have nothing to do with electricity or water. Proving, government will find a way to get the money, regardless.
I have came to the same conclusion.
In my area if you live in a (double wide or trailer) taxes are not even one half of owning a home, same with Ins.
If one of these units’ catch fire it's just a “poof” their gone, not as a conventional home in which in most case's can be saved.
