I have to type slow on the phone so this might not be as long as most. The thoughts here are full and deep so o may return to the idea soon, but having it on my mind now I figured I should cast it out to the world. I’m thinking about the future and this idea of moving somewhere along the Juan de Fuca and it occurs to me that it may be a better fit to air bnb the situation long term. The cost of a monthly stay is less than it would cost to uproot life, get new jobs, and deal with the rates of home ownership as they are now. Also there’s that 30 year loan.
There is more to it than this, of course. We have parents to look after who won’t move with us, meaning responsibility outside of the fresh start, and the lack of flexibility is a big one for me. I want to explore the world and spend real time in places and the Airbnb option allows for that. This is a real consideration, given the state of things in the world. Temporary feels like a safer bet than anything permanent and fixed.
