I decided to check on what you've been up to since I haven't had convenient Internet for a while... And what do you know, you're coming to Mexico. Very nice my friend.
In my opinion, this is the place to be for the coming storm. Haha, that's why I'm here. DM me if you want to chat.
Your in Mexico?!
I've been in Oaxaca for a year, up in the hills in the Huatulco area. Was looking to start a community with some others. We didn't really have a plan and it has mostly dissolved but it may come back to life in some form. We built a couple casitas there and have installed irrigation and planted some gardens. All this done without a written agreement and no ownership, haha. I am still living there while deciding how to proceed. I may complete the land purchase of 3.5 hectares and build a few things as a refuge and keep the gardens going.
Land ownership in Mexico is complicated it seems. There is a restricted zone of 50km from the beach where foreigners can't own land directly. Then, there is a lot of communal land which you can "own" but it's within the communal structure. I don't know all the details on that but it's good to be aware of.
Come for a visit if you are in the area or planning to travel a bit to check out Mexico.
