You’re an expat right? Many blacks are considering leaving this racist ass country altogether. Would you say it would be easier building community in other countries or developing in rural communities if you had some money to throw at it?
Would African Americans Returning to Rural Areas Help the Communities?

So there’s no getting around any of this if one wants to pursue that country life.
Im wondering what is already being done to address these issues and remove these barriers…
I don’t think throwing money at it is going to cut it either, because I’m sure there’s probably political fukkery behind a lot of this shyt too.
Damn. Yeah, I'm from Charleston (born and raised). It's wild seein cacs taking over on Johns Island, Wadmalaw, Edisto. They even getting down to St Helena Island outside of Beufort. SMH
Gotta be on the coast. If I don't leave this shytshow country or at least get a 2nd home outside of it, I'll get some land on a coastal island back home and build a spot.I’m cool. Y’all can (grow food and) eat though.

First thing we gotta do is sell off some houses we have in the family. Its complicated cause a couple of em got 2nd mortgages, and then theres that capital gains tax. Then they need some minor touching up if they gone fetch the best prices. Finding the time to do all this right now is the biggest hurdle.
We still looking at land too, trying to find something that accommodates everybody's needs. Its a multi family project so we need enough space for a few separate households just to start with enough space left over to potentially add more homes to should anyone else we care about decide they want to get in on it. There is strength in numbers and we want this to potentially be the seed of a future small tightknit community for our friends and family who are tired of dealing with all the bullshyt of city life.
Something isolated but not to the point we out in the wilderness in the middle of nowhere. Its tricky, with so many variables, its gone need a lot of care to go into this to be done just right. But the payoff will be well worth the effort imo.
I really owe u one for this thread too because i didnt even know about these usda loans. That could actually be a real game changer here. Will have to talk to my brother he will be very interested in this. Thanks Books, u the best
Will post more about my project later i gotta go drop wifey off at her therapy.

Oh and for the houses themselves we was planning on 3D printing some tiny/mobile homes. We are trying to live minimalistic.First thing we gotta do is sell off some houses we have in the family.

That’s what white people want blacks to do now.. right now it’s try to get blacks far out the city to the suburbs and once enough blacks are out in the burbs, we buy back the inner cities over priced blacks out and take are resources from the burbs and leave them nikkas 40 minutes out the way wit limited transportation
might work for some, but $$$ / best amenities / influence is in the urban areas. black people SHOULD NOT abandon cities.
also land only has value if it is productive. dirt cheap empty land doesn't hold much value if it doesn't host or produce anything

For those of y'all interested in getting with family and using the land...
This is a typical story.
Family got land. One part of the family wants to carve up the land, and conflict.
On a different note, it's cats like this, that don't really get much representation in Black Media, much less Mainstream Media.

Cities are filled with resources tho. Someone can change their mindset and thrive in a city. In arural areas people who change their mindset often just move to a city
