Is this anyone else’s worst nightmare? Just living life on your dream acreage only for the city to slowly engulf it in suburb? I know OP meant it as a cool thing, but honestly that picture saddens and scares me a bit

Homesteading

Not in my lifetime. City is just too far away and unless some dramatic shift in economics happens there just isn’t the resource base to bring enough people out here.
My big fear is meth. Been seeing more and more homesteads around me being converted to amateur junkyards. I don’t *think* that will encroach too close, but I’m concerned all the same.
I would be extremely sceptical of this kind of post
If you aren’t too old when it happens and aren’t too attached to that specific area, it could work out alright:
* Property value goes up when a place gets developed
* Sell for $$$$
* Upgrade to a bigger/nicer place somewhere else
What’s the old saying? “Money corrupts”
Having my property value shoot up millions of dollars isn’t exactly my nightmare
