Anyone who has land would be a fool to sell it in this crappy market-real estate prices are way down, and raw land for homesteading/ranching/farming is not worth much-only an idiot would think it is smart to sell acreage for business improvements.
That kind of land is only useful to someone who wants that lifestyle-and that isn’t likely to be some mall-shopping city dweller-we’ve had a few of those move out here, but they don’t last more than a couple of years. They can’t handle being responsible for their own stuff-a well, septic system, trash service, the fact that the mall is 40 miles away, and there are no city services to be had.
Well I have to say that I sold what I had, during a time I couldn’t work do to ill health, it didn’t matter what the market was for my antiques.....what mattered was paying my own way not mooching off other people so I could build a business on the side....nor bouncing checks, nor trespassing on other peoples property to take what belongs to them.
There are soooo many holes in this couples story they’re “framing” and passing on to the news and the public for consumption.......we need the whole story not just this couples. I for one believe they are fully playing the public’s empathy and have done so many times in the past. It is how they operate.
