Wanna buy a town? Set up a community?
Maybe DU can start a commune out here:

Property Highlights

Albert, Texas is a historic destination located in the rich German farmlands of the Texas Hill Country, just 20 miles East of Fredericksburg. The small town sits adjacent to the ever flowing Williams Creek and provides 13 acres of grass lands with abundant pecan trees and a vast array of native wildflowers.

The town also has an old rock schoolhouse that President Lyndon Baines Johnson attended in 1920 as a young boy. The schoolhouse belongs to the Gillespie County Community, but can be easily rented for any family or social occasion.

The 100+ year old Albert Dance Hall remains intact and can be toured at any time.

The Albert Ice House is newly renovated and is situated just off the highway under two magnificent 500 year old live oaks. The large back patio and beer garden can accommodate well over 500 people, offering daily and nightly live music, an endless breeze, campfires and the biggest picnic tables in Texas.

SNIP

Or maybe the freepers can start a seceded community out there.

1. That looks kind of purty.
I don't know who suggested it, but I'm on board with offering the Freepers Somalia. We can take this one. ;)

2. Only problem is that it get awfully hot there in the summer. The streams
are nice, though. It's a beautiful place.

I am totally on board with sending the freeps to Somalia, which may be too good for them.
