Your greenhouse is valuable to you therefore it is valuable to other prepper minded folk. Look for that person, sell it, and move to Tennessee. It's beautiful country and by looking at that election map and Don's words you will not have question of your neighbors. Kindred spirits.
Even among true Conservatives, there are a lot of people unconvinced violence will be required or that a disaster is bearing down upon us. There are liberals in TN, just like everywhere else. The Fed is in TN, just like everywhere else. Also if we all congregate in a state before succession, that just makes it easier to target us for persecution.
I am sure I could sell the place to another prep minded individual - or just a liberal greenie hippie - But it will be a losing proposition. They may value the greenhouse - but not as much as the money we put into it. Same with the solar, with the shed, with the barn.. and that doesn't even take into account the time we have spent. Even with unlimited funds, getting a new place up to snuff to just match what we have would take months, and that is assuming I pay to have it done for me- which I can't afford. Solar won't work as well in TN, and the climate requires us to learn all new gardening skills. Doing so would be a huge undertaking, and I have to make sure the payoff makes sense. Most of the people directly around me are retired conservatives - many are ex -military or police. We have the hippies too of course... older couples from elsewhere who retired here, or more often, are snow-birds, and the usual assortment of vacation-home types - and a large number of the Obama votes were probably liberals with two homes deciding they can vote twice. County is largely conservative/libertarian and with a sparse populations .. Commissioner etc were GOP and ran unopposed. Demographically its an older crowd - and as Obamacare kicks in, medical services in rural areas will suffer. Over the long term its hard to predict where the demographics will go. But Long term (more than 10 years) may be irrelevant at this point.
I love the area I live. We vote 70 percent conservative and I'd appreciate more like minded people to move this way......but ( there is always a but) Weisshaupt is 100 percent correct with his analysis that most either don't understand or don't believe the disaster which awaits.
Case in point. Family gathering. Large group, maybe 40. Not one voted for Obama. The subject of the election comes up and I ask what others are doing to prepare for the implosion. I get a puzzled look. Most do not believe they need to prepare. I told them what I was doing, simple stuff. I get this " look" from the group....you know the facial expressions, as if thier protected lives will not be affected. It seems only my brother and I take this serious. I found myself defending my actions, until I realized it wasn't worth it.
We are not far enough along in the implosion to get their attention. I believe some will come around and it's still better than being surrounded by liberals, but in the heart of one of the most conservative areas in Tennessee, most are in denial, believe it couldn't happen in America. They think their money is safe in banks, thier 401 k is untouchable by an over reaching govt.
Head in the sand mentality.
