I've given this a lot of thought and I TOTALLY AGREE.
I will add, it's not important just to be stationary, but to be stationary in the right community. I believe the ideal community is a small town (<10k population) with only a handful of roads leading in and out. I've been researching what I consider to be the best locations, and will be happy to discuss those with anyone via private message.
I agree. Location, location, location.
I live in a defensible valley more than 6 hour drive from any big city, if you don’t count Redding.
