    Super weird to read this having emigrated right after RBG died. Like, I’m not rich I just read the room.

        By an accident of birth, UK. I’d have been just as happy in loads of other places. At least here some of the post-imperial dust has settled.

            I’m noticing that the difference is ownership rights. Some land is a “freehold” which is essentially outright ownership, others are more limited in scope or duration.

            I’m not quite there yet, still renting. But yes, it’s a whole subject and you’d need to do some homework to know what you’re signing up for.
