You can set up camp near town, on a nearby hillside or wherever. If you want. You can build a shelter there, live beneath tarps, etc. After you occupy that land for three years, it’s yours. When the government eventually apportions lots in the area you occupy, whatever lot you happen to live on is your lot. For free. This info is based on one conversation — I’m not sure I have the details right. You’d need somewhere to put your poop. Some kind of composting toilet, or tank. I presume. I don’t know how that works. I’ll ask my Mexican friend. It seems roughly analogous to buying a house in Detroit for $1. I don’t know the details about that either. People who set up on unclaimed land, in the hills for example, are called “skydivers,” he said. I came upon one myself when I tried to hike up into the hills, but I didn’t know it at the time. Presumably when the area is developed you would then have a connection to the sewer.
