    Can you live on that land without having to pay taxes or anything?

    Because in my country, any cheap land in a place with no employment isn’t viable due to needing employment to maintain ‘ownership’ of the land through fees to the state.

    Also even if the issue is location, there is huge amounts of abandoned empty housing in cities with jobs. Squatters are constantly trying to live in such places and getting chased out by cops.

      You have found the rub, there is always taxes. The issue is you need internet or local jobs and guess what outside of starmlink there was nothing in the places you can afford. The extra fun part is there are people who move to low COL areas after selling their property when retiring just to make it work. This is a reason that these locations sometimes have a lot of elderly people. Now the real fucked up part is that even this strange retirement tactic does not work if you never are able to buy a place.
