I'm a city dweller who thinks that I'm probably in the wrong place if I'm looking for maximum survivability. I would like advice on areas to live near Portland the have the following characteristics that I (or you) believe would be great to live from both a family perspective as well as a survivability perspective.
- Within reasonable driving distance of Hillsboro (no more than about 45 minutes)
- Can get high speed Internet
- Can get 3+ acres and a home under $500k
- Has land suitable for a big garden
- Area suitable for chickens or other low impact animals
- Has a sense of community
- Strong Christian faith / values in the community
- Would be great to know if there is a "guns in church" community there (see other thread)
- Local food supplies for what I cannot / do not grow myself
- People who depend on themselves, believe in self sufficiency and minimum government is great
- Preferably has decent public (or private) schools
- Would be great to have kids in the community, for both my kids, as well as I think kids ground you
Where do you guys live that you think is great? Where would you like to live? Can I find the quality of life I strive for, a more self-sufficient lifestyle (think: food / water / resources locally or on my own land), local citizens that love our liberties (including gun rights), and a faith based community? Does such a place exist in this state?
