You can build it, sure, but why would anyone want to live there?


Disconnected from a major city, fiber internet, affordable, why would anyone want to move to Orlando it's all swamp lands? I remember that being Walt Disneys response when a reporter (who was correct) accused him of buying up all the land in Florida.


97% of the USA is already disconnected from a major city and affordable. And now with Starlink broadband internet is accessible as well. Yet there is no rush to migrate to rural areas - quite the opposite. People want to live in cities and suburbs.


Sure, but most people don't want to live far from a city with limited resources like access to doctors, and such.

You'd get Waco'ed or Ruby Ridge'ed.
