Comment on Being poor is expensive

The biggest problems are water access and soil quality. Generally speaking, all of the land that is good for farming is not wilderness, it’s aldeady owned and in use by somebody. If you have to spend money to irrigate and more money to make the soil into something that can grow food, you’ll be broke long before you’re self-sustaining.

And, spoiler alert; even if you manage to get kand with water access, you are going to go through hell to get the rights to use that water in any meaningful way. Try something as simple as rain water collection with mout the rights? Best case is a massive fine.
