I dont even need what most people consider "good homes". I currently reside in a tiny home made from a shed, because fuck the housing market with a poison cactus. Id be cool with shipping container homes and the like. Most people think they need waaaaay more house than they really do, and they stuff it with useless junk. I'll be the guy that grows the plants for all the herbal medicines, and i guess if people want to eat plants, I grow edibles as well. But I'm a pretty good goat herder as well, and meat is for food while plants are for medicine/poison. And I may have some use as a sort of spiritual guide, getting in touch with my inner cave man and growing the plants and making herbal medicines, and i spose poisons (im not a poisoner, i promise! there is no honor in it. Though i have the ability) has opened my mind to a more Shamanistic way. Depending how the world goes, I may someday find my way to the Amazon and experience a true shaman guided ayahuasca experience.
Frankly, i just want to live in a shack and grow plants and make medicine and raise food and not have to deal with the absolute degenerate madness of the world anymore. Im half a step removed from being a monk or a shaman already at this point, and all that holds me back is having to pay taxes and bills, and not being allowed to grow certain plants or hunt for food with paying the kings due. I'll be the wise man in the woods for your little town that knows how to cure whatever ailment you come to me with.
I say "good" meaning big enough for each family member to have a bedroom, the house is well insulated and sealed so it is very good in all weather, built on piles so that no shifting occurs, and generally just a nice comfortable, welcoming place.
For food growing, I would like a nice large greenhouse that works year round, heated either by geothermal or the heat given off from compost production. I would like to grow fish and have plants or trees with long roots be in the same water as the fish so when the fish shit, it fertiliszes thr plants. A bunch of verticle farming in there as well.
Ideally the property would have flowing water that could be used to generate electricity and power everything so it is not reliant on the local power supply and have no bills each month. The water could be treated on site to use for drinking/cooking/bathing.
A small community with nearby homes on the same property housed by people I care about so that everyone will have time to visit friends and family, no more wasted time on thankless jobs or commuting. Everyone is self sustaining but we can all help each other out. The way things used to be.
We are definitely on the same page on this idea. Though one big issue is the way shit works in the US, we would almost have to go somewhere else, or there is always property tax, and building codes, and all that nonsense. My current living set up is technically illegal because im under the required square footage for residential. Plus, we would probably get Waco'd. Ive been crossing my fingers for a genuine apocalyptic solar flare type event for a long time now. Hard to find anywhere to get out from under the thumb of government, without having psychotic tribals, or drug cartels, in their place.
