There's plenty of cheap land if you dare going a bit further that big cities, at least in my country.
Most people just want to live where everybody already lives

Yes, but it's cheap because there aren't a million people bidding on it, which is what will happen when everyone moves out of the big cities.

It's depressing that we can't be sure anymore because far too many people say things like this and actually mean it.

There should be an alternative version of Poe's Law where the view being parodied is so common, so ludicrous and associated with bad faith actors that it wraps back around to the person deserves all the ridicule and an assumption that they are a bad actor.
Like, we get to assume it's a Motte and Bailey or Schrödinger’s Joke.
"Nobody will prevent you..." Can I plant on your property and keep all the produce? My property isn't big enough to support my family of two. Where shall I plant? The fiefdom?
I just don't get this take. It sounds awful for virtually everybody. We live at a scale that is not like it was when I was born. Asking everyone to raise their own beef and vegetables is a as much a non-starter as telling them they can just build their own tractors to till.
Edit: I'd like to acknowledge Poe's Law might be in effect here. :)
