Why not? That's what I've been wondering when I came across an article on the subject recently. It happens once in a while that a municipality in some country (Spain or Italy usually) offers houses in an abandoned area for almost free. There's usually a catch, like that you have to move there as your primary residence and you have to fix it up. But still with the housing market going crazy over here (the Netherlands), this idea interests me. Currently I'm renting, and its about 40% of my total expenses. I can work from home, so that's no problem. Only real downside is moving away from a lively city and my friends. But I'll have enough money for regular visits because I save so much on rent.

Anyone on here experience with such a thing? I found this CNN article from 2 years ago that documents some people's experience. They do plan to use it only for a second holiday home tho.
