How many people you like would it take agreeing to move to X small city that is cheap but lacking community/social life for you to want to move there? You could make a Kickstarter-like-thing out of this. https://twitter.com/BennettJonah/status/1111418408589889543 …

I've been focusing on how to de-risk other people's choices to make this kind of thing happen, and what kind of skills/abilities a collective would need to ensure the community would sustain itself over just being a temporary collective. I don't have a IRL social life.

In terms of de-risking and necessary skills, what have you found?

Successful nomadic types seem to be more resilient to failures. By minimizing coupling with systems of a society, they also minimize risks associated with creating one. They can 'exit' before bad patterns take hold. TL;DR: Vanlife is the new frontier wagon.

Part of this is survivorship bias. But also when you iterate toward the ability to minimize exit costs / maximize mobility, it seems to create environments were risks toward experimentation are lower, thus more learning. Works to undo Tyler Cohen's 'great stagnation' effect too.

With many millennial embracing minimalism due to economic necessity, but also cultural transformations, it seems to create less attachment to 'things', which also helps to make it easier to move. In investing lingo, this increases optionality(?), breeding anti-fragile mindsets.

I think the trick is to find people embracing this lifestyle intentionally, as they also seem to be seeking skills and abilities that help them survive. Get enough of these types together and the skill overlap seems manage itself.

This is why I dream of crowdfunding buying out a failing mall that happens to also be zoned residential. So much room for activities, and they've already got parking spots for vans. I see this as a natural scaling up of hack-base initiatives.

Suddenly my fledgling #vanlife infatuation takes on a whole new dimension
