Its just like the dying towns of the Midwestern US.https://theworld.org/stories/2026/06/29/italys-attempt-to-repopulate-mountain-villages-is-falling-short
>>538051695Tear them down and use the land for more plazas
What are the houses in villages like, are they actually worth buying and living in?
>>538051695>zoomers struggle buying house>villages dying out, shitload of empty housesHave internet spoiled those faggots so bad?
>>538051695Definitely needs diversity
Let me guess: they're insanely insular communities that will try and kill me if I move there like it's a Resident Evil game?
>>538051876The same as any rural area, decrepit, shitty utilities, no goyslave jobs.Honestly this would have been the one place to put all the goatfarmers they have taken in as refugees but instead they just fill their cities with them.
I imagine lots of Italian bureaucracy.
>>538051695the reasons almost no one lives there >the inhabitants are only people over 65 years old who are extremely insular and probably annoying and rude>you will have zero friends there>there's literally nothing to do besides taking walks>not a single job in the area, you will probably have to drive like 1 hour to go to your job and the same to return>same for any basic service, supermarket, any shop that doesn't just sell food: need to drive They're heaven if you're an asocial chud with money and don't need to work. But only in that case, and you'll get bored sooner or later anyway
>>538051695I'll be right there, ladies.
>>538052252Will the carabinieri show up if I stop paying taxes and just let my sheep roam all over?
Werner Herzog grew up in a mountain town like this. It didn't sound that idea especially if you are poor.
>>538052375agenzia delle entrate will show up, carabinieri and gdf only in serious cases.
>>538052375>>538052671The judges took away the three kids of this family because they weren't vaccinated etc, etc...It's a pretty known thing here in Italy.
>>538052252You just described every webm depicting Switzerland that retarded incels repost here all the time. Those places are shitholes.
>>538052252>there's literally nothing to do besides taking walksCreate something to do>not a single job in the areaCreate jobsNpcs have a hard time doing things for themselves. Curious
>>538051876not really unless you want to live in 1800s italy except everyone else disappeared and want to pay out of your ass for material and permit costs after winning the auction for your shitbox you are not even going to inspect then going there to start your diy life and finding out that the floors have a foot of water and everything is covered in black mold
>>538051914I just bought my second house in the Alps. The owners really wanted to sell it quickly.
>>538051695Except this trend began reverse with remote work.American cities rotting, beginning with their downtown metro areas.I live in a major city, multi-million residents. All of the major office tenants have bailed out and all that's left are attorneys who need to look fancy in a high rise and homeless people sleeping on sidewalks.Every business near downtown area is struggling, restaurants, bars, retail, etc.
>>538053358Did they make them take the vax?
>>538054830Probably? We don't know but the social services took away the kids, so very likely.
>>538052252>>538053542Can't they just culturally enrich them with immigrants?
>>538052252>>the inhabitants are only people over 65 years oldpretty much the main problem.I looked at a house in a smaller village some days ago but basically anyone I met there was 70+ easilyI wouldn't have minded it otherwise, but I don't want to live on a graveyard
>>538051914these towns would be good places for remote workers but faggot execs want workers sitting in the office for teambuilding o algo
>>538051983>sudtirol>ItalianThey don't even speak Italian do they? It's Germanic bureaucracy that's the problem.
generally in rural america, I live in the midwest. all the "free" women all move away to be whores at some city on either the coasts or chicago they generally never stay in the towns until maybe like age 40 when they move back with some dude who isn't even from our area (even better if its a shitskin) and then she becomes a realtor and votes to constantly raise taxes so that everyone who stayed in the town is fucked. thats white woman 101
>>538055280Sounds about right.
It needs tens of millions of Indians or those small towns will simply not survive.
What happens if these towns get abandoned return to nature and transients just move in?
Why are these towns in the mountains in the first place? When were they established? What was their industry?
>>538051695>Its just like the dying towns of the Midwestern US.They could just fill them with jeets.
>>538051695Bong philosopher here. Here are my suggestions:- Free or subsidized homes, and land, for any young man with or without a family that wants it, with renovation grants attached- Income support — offer villages cash grants (Ponga in Spain offered €3,000 per child born there; Candela in Italy offered up to €2,000 to move there)- Remote work infrastructure — fast broadband is arguably the single biggest enabler right now. Let the people leave the wretched cities and bring their jobs with them- Business incentives — tax breaks or startup grants for small businesses, farms, or artisan trades- Restore the village schools. Villages without a school rarely attract families- Preserving local festivals, crafts, and cultural identity gives people a reason to be there beyond cheap rent Godspeed Italy.
>>538053970It's beautiful. No one wants to live in bughives.
>>538055146>remote workersThose are the faggots.
>>538055609that is the thing. they are in fact sustainable. you could feed yourself off the land there.
>>538055055God, imagine living in a town where the only thing that ever happens is someone dies every few months?
>>538056570Perhaps you want a town with a gay disco?
>>538056570I don't need other people to clown for me to keep me entertained, I know how to spend my time in an enjoyable way by myself.But everyone around me being easily twice as old is a bit much.
>>538051695Quick!Import more niggers!!!
>>538057411Why not. It is not a threat to the ruling elite.
>refuse to hire people>refuse to create jobs>refuse to give any actual incentive to do a single fucking thing>flood the area with africans instead of italians o algoAll of these incentives are fake because they refuse to create opportunity for people 18-44 and then complain none of them want to live there when the jobs are in Germany.
>>538057892The plebs have prayer. The elite have a plan.
Unrelated to the topic: /pol/ is full of disgusting brown clown spics
>>538051695They are chasing everyone into the urban centers.
>>538051695>house for 1€plus a small surcharge of 300.000€ in mandatory renovations of course, prego!
>>538051695Poland also has towns disappearing off the map with depopulation rendering many houses abandoned and rotting. Everyone is being herded into cities with new apartment complexes.
>>538051876The wiring is 50+ years old and needs to be replaced. The pipes are 50+ years old and need to be replaced. The fuse box is an ancient fire hazard. The windows are single glazed and often broken. The roof beams are rotten and some of the roof has often collapsed, leading to flooding on the upper floor(s). The construction is almost always nonstandard, often done gradually over several generations, so you can't just go out and buy standardized parts to replace those things. Every window you replace needs to be either custom cut, or you need to expand or fill in part of the original opening for the window. Every wall you try to tear down might or might not be load-bearing. Also, even if you're pretty good with construction, you still need local workmen and inspectors. In order to meet the conditions for a €1 house, you need to not only spend at least €100,000 or whatever amount is specified for the property, you also need to provide evidence that you spent that money in a way that meets modern building regulations. So at the very least you'll need a report written by an engineer, and they'll likely also demand certification from the local electrician(s) and fire brigade that the wiring is okay and the house is not a fire hazard anymore.If all that works, okay, you have a nice house. But the house to your left is abandoned, crumbling and about to collapse onto your property, and the house to your right is occupied by a bitter 83-year-old woman who hates that you're not a local and that her children left to go study and work in the city. There are no jobs, except maybe stacking shelves in supermarkets or as a farmhand alongside a bunch of Nigerians. So that's your life now, a minimum wage job (which in Italy is about $8 an hour), absolutely no one else under the age of 50 in a 20-mile radius, and very limited local services.
>>538051964They're mostly just old, they're the ones who never moved away and grew old and bitter and don't care for outsiders. They might greet you in the street or talk to you if there's an issue near the property line (provided you speak their language, because they either don't speak English or refuse to), but other than that they keep themselves to themselves and expect you to do the same.
