Looks beautiful there! Sounds like a waiting list has developed. I wonder if the minor exodus away from major centers will continue. Personally, as a millenial entering my 'family' years, I feel pretty attracted to smaller centers. Safety, peacefulness and quiet trumps the excitement and chaos of a large city for me.

It sounds like a good deal, hopefully they have mortgage support arranged with their local banks.<p>For many young people, the ticket to getting ahead these days is moving away from the big cities. Unfortunately it takes effort on the part of small towns to receive those young people in productive ways.

This is kind of interesting, but that&#x27;s incredibly isolated. Living out there full-time isn&#x27;t just a bit of a departure from a big city, by Canadian terms it&#x27;s about the width of British Columbia, just to get back to the city where your friends might be if you&#x27;re coming from Toronto. In their Maclean&#x27;s interview, they remark that they&#x27;re on the same latitude as Winnipeg, but Winnipeg is already incredibly isolated as it is from anywhere else. To get from Winnipeg to Toronto it would take 28 hrs of driving if you&#x27;re silly enough to not fly, or 14 in the other direction to get to Calgary, assuming you&#x27;re not stopping for long in the smaller &quot;cities&quot; along the way.<p>For that reason, anyone making that kind of a leap has some level of respect from me, it&#x27;s not a move I&#x27;d make. Although I do drive that far sometimes to see some friends and family, it&#x27;s like a bi-yearly thing at best.

I believe there are several towns in several countries that are taking this &quot;buy economic development&quot; approach, differing mainly on the amount of subsidy they have to offer to entice someone to move to those town&#x2F;country combinations. That real estate adage of &quot;location, location, location&quot; exists for a reason<p>I have secretly wondered if I&#x27;d be able to make living bringing WISP services to those places to help ease the modernity withdrawal of normal people wanting to move there. My grave fear is that my risks would be 90% bureaucratic and only 10% technical, given how much hatred community-run ISPs get

Incredibly isolated - Canada is a huge country. Property taxes, access to basic services, Power&#x2F;Gas might be incredibly expensive. Groceries are very expensive. Too expensive to build homes in those locations, because of isolation. there is a reason these properties sold for 10 dollars.

This area doesn&#x27;t seem too bad if you own a plane. It&#x27;s perfect for a Skyhawk.

If only we could get rid of the &quot;Return to Office&quot; being pushed by corporate , this could turn out to be great for young families.
