    Even a completely free piece of land and free housing isn't a substitution for basic infrastructure and diverse local culture. Maybe if you have a growing family or are retirement …

    Living in a true hot n cold New England USA makes me jealous that anyone would consider this extreme. It's sweater n t-shirt weather. I consider hot n cold being 100F in the summer…
