    Maybe they should take a name from the Bible for their haven. Maybe Gilead?

    Where they are building will not make it any different from what is already around there. Trust me. A bit of a marketing scheme that could potentially get them sued, but mostly another setup for a boring subdivision development.

    But the underlying finances of land offerings associated with the “Highland Rim Project” (HRP) in Kentucky suggest that buyers will pay a steep premium for living in a remote ideological enclave, while the scheme’s promoters are set to collect tidy profits after making few apparent improvements to the land.

    It’s ALWAYS a grift lmao

    Invite Alex Jones to be your leader. Name the town after him and then wait for history to circle back around…

    From what I have seen while driving through, Kentucky is naturally beautiful. I wish it was someone other than the worst people in the country trying to settle in there.

    “Abbotoy offered few details on how the community would be run beyond saying: ‘Most of the leadership is going to be led by Protestant christians.’”

    Shouldn’t everyone be celebrating this? Take all the ‘undesirables’ and plunk them in the middle of nowhere. Then, when they fail, they’ll have to REALLY do some gymnastics to blame the left.
