We’ve got real estate consolidation in the residential and agricultural sectors that are steadily raising rents.

I'm so mad that buying land way out in the boonies and a pre built home depot ~~shed~~ house to plop on it is literally the only way I see myself owning any shelter...

My brother took this exact route and its not as easy or cheap as it sounds. Even their nicest sheds have a ton of work to be done to make them livable, and after that you'll need even more expensive work to make them up to code for your state. Your best bet if you are serious is to find a plot of land with their water/sewage/electricity/postal address already there (and a driveway or gravel road too if you can, that was expensive and took months of paperwork for some reason)

Kinda figures... Every other route I could think of ended up with the same results "will cost close to a regular house anyway." :/
