Homesteaders, catastrophists run for the hills to flee U.S. uncertainty
• http://news.trust.org by Carey L. BironCheap housing, deep unease and intense resilience - all forces that are driving a clutch of Americans to swap city life for a fresh start off grid and far from civilisation.
Some are survivalists, among them high fliers who fear a looming, urban catastrophe and the mayhem that might follow.
Others want a greener, gentler life untainted by the malign forces of capitalism and uncertainty of mainstream politics.

"We're on that upward trend," he said. "Inventory of that land on the market is tighter."
