Properties
Maximize these, bearing in mind first and foremost that fewer people means fewer problems:

- Away from interstate freeways and other channelized areas
- Low taxes
- Nonintrusive scale of government
- Favorable zoning, inexpensive building permits, WATER RIGHTS
- Minimal gun laws
- No major earthquake, hurricane, or tornado risks -- these are accentuated by GSM
- No flooding risk -- so is this
- No tidal-wave risk (at least two hundred feet above sea level)
- Minimal forest-fire risk
- A lifestyle geared toward self-sufficiency
- Plentiful local sources of wood or coal
- No restrictions on keeping livestock
- Defensible terrain
