Hui you did exactly what we are currently trying to do.

I'm from Germany and France countryside is so much cheaper than anything in Germany, looks nice and they have great food.

I also want to work remote and actually can.

Do you have more to share? Blog? Email? Are you from France?

Any knowledge on building code?

Did you check future proves like water table?

When have you last been to France? It's the exact opposite, cost of living is higher than in Germany. Almost anything is more expensive, including groceries. Not that it's a huge difference but just saying. I like France but moving there for the cost of living makes no sense when you come from Germany.

Why are people so fixated on the cost of groceries? The vast majority of a person's or family's expenses goes towards rent or mortgage.

If France has cheaper real estate than Germany then you could be much better off there even if the cost of groceries is higher.

Where are you getting a fixation on groceries from a comment that talks about "almost anything" being more expensive? Real estate is more expensive in France too, it's actually among the most expensive in Europe.

Sure, if it were cheaper then less of your money would go towards your mortgage. And if wages in France were cheaper than in Germany upkeep and repairs would be cheaper. And if English were their national language, you'd not have to learn French. None of that is true of course but if it were we could rave about it on HN.

The land (only the land) costs in France half of what I would need to pay in Germany right now.

Sorry no blog. Email in my profile, we can have a zoom.

I am a developper since 10 years.

I did my research, looks ok to me. Long topic.. Got a well and 8m3 of buried tank currently, planning to build 10m3 more. But I am not a prepper.

Think they meant “building codes” as in “what are you legally allowed to build on your own land”. Laws governing structures and how they are constructed.

I would also like to chat, but I don't see your email in your profile. I'm writing regularly about returning to humanity (example: https://backtohumanity.substack.com/p/the-need-for-new-commu...). Could you send me an email: daosalon /a--t/ protonmail so we can talk?

Did you get an answer?

go to a big city in france and walk around the wrong neighbourhood and experience the crime problems that have started to plague major european cities over the past 20 years.

Yes big cities but probably not a boring countryside
