Would that have a shallow enough draft? Still not sold on Pitcarin. I'm not sure I'd want to live somewhere intercourse with 12 year old girls is considered normal.

I think I'm going to like here.

Very good points. I see you just arrived. Welcome to the Gulch.

The current inhabitants would object and there is no room to expand. Some place warm sounds like a good idea. I am getting real tired of shoveling global warming. Small hydro, solar and wind generators are off the grid options for power. Another idea is to design homes so that they are more energy efficient.

In my imaginary Gulch, Denmark gives it tax abatement under some policy originally intended to help Inuit populations. Some startups locate there there for tax and immigration reasons, and to have a gang of smart young people focused in an isolated area. If one of them wins, discovers something useful, people will try to take a piece of it.

And one I would suggest people answer before they propose to immigrate en masse to those islands.

Temlakos: Great question!!

No. We never even considered it. They have problems, financially. I'm not sure they secured water rights. You need to work through an attorney. There are a lot of xpats in Chile. We went to southern Chile. We just wanted to feel free to live our lives. Southern Chile has more to offer for us. There is no need to try to fit into a specific group. We just happened into one. We were just looking for a great place to live.

Seasteading has it's advantages. It might be the way to go.

Greenland? Well don't think anybody will try to take it from you.

Interesting. Are you at Galt's Gulch Chile?

Chile. Yes you do have to make application and get permission. It's a small project. It is not a problem.

I did get permission in the country where I now live. It wasn't a problem.

Here's my (fictional) Gulch: https://goo.gl/maps/ZOH2t
A few people know it's there. The looters don't care, but they will.

Not in favor of Pitcairn. The best solution is build our own floating island. The bigger the better. Keep it out in international waters, I guess a National identity could be created.

Yes, your friend is correct. I loved it there. Island paradise.

Major cool.

Time to reread. "I will fear no evil."

I am not sure what you mean. Did you need government permission to build a hydroelectric dam?
What country do you live in?

No. I did ask permission of the government of the country I now live in since I decided to shrug. No problem.

Pitcairn is not the best choice. This thread generated a lot of discussion. I would enjoy a thread about your community. It sounds very promising. Is there any skiing nearby?

Interesting you are building a hydroelectric plant. Do you need permission from the Army Corp of Engineers?

If the body can't be healed, then a whole body transplant is a heck of a lot less spooky than the alternative :P

Just read articles last week fro some Dr. that thinks it will be possible to do a whole body transplant in the next two to three years. That to me is spooky.
