that solves the first part if I walk for like 4 days, but how do I live there short of being homeless?
I was going to type out a reply, but conditional_soup already said everything worth saying.
Ah. Well, the problem is that we've made building new housing units nearly impossible through decades of unforced errors at the local level in nearly all of our cities, as well as bullshit ass zoning. It's not even remotely impossible to undo, but a lot of people don't recognize it as the root of the problem. Again, check out Strong Towns, we're working to walk these errors back and make our cities places that are built for people again.
Thanks, I'll look and see if theres a local chapter in my area. Ive been meaning to get more involved in local politics, its just hard to find a comfortable group of people to get in with in my experience. Would love to find out I can actually join people in something meaningful :)
Yeah, do it! Speaking from personal experience, it can be a little scary at first, but it's not even a tenth as bad as you think. It's actually a surprisingly social experience.
Do you know anything about starting a local chapter? The closest one to me is 2 hours away :(

You are not required to be a member to start a chapter, and from all that I've seen, they're very supportive of you send an email asking for guidance. I would start by going to local city councils or board of supervisor meetings, put flyers up at the library and small coffee shops or anywhere else you can put up flyers, and start holding regular meetings at least once a month
