I was watching a documentary on life in the rurals of Russia...at least 500 miles east of Moscow. And a guy could walk into a village and buy property for less than $300 (at least 20 acres)...and you could build your dream wood house for less than $5,000. They interviewed a local guy who said he was lucky to make $2k a year in salary...but it was more than enough to live off of. Someone will eventually get smart and realize there is a vast open space east of Moscow...big enough for 100 million people to move into and take advantage of the situation.

I'm sure that Siberia is even cheaper, but living a thousand miles away from any town is not a good idea.

Chinese ?

And most of them may be Chinese.
