My wife and I are moving to Central America next year. Once we get there, we’re going to be building a partially off-grid house: electricity from solar panels with on-grid fallback, water from a spring on the property, and solar water heating. We’re hoping we’ll be able to grow most of our own veggies and compost whatever we possibly can.
Unfortunately, we’ll need a gas-powered vehicle due to rough terrain and a severe lack of EV charging capabilities in the area. That being said, we don’t drive very often at all here in the US and I expect we’ll drive even less once we’re down there.
Atlanta as well. The frustrating thing is that Atlanta has MARTA, but the state refuses to fund it and MARTA’s answer for everything is to divert funds away from rail to bus lines. But then the degraded rail service means more people drive than ride trains, thereby increasing gridlock, which causes bus service to suffer. So then MARTA diverts funds away from rail to bus lines…
