Black is celebrating a victory this week as it’s reached $64,774 of its $500,000 GoFundMe goal — enough to purchase 200 acres of land in so-called “Colorado, USA” on which to build its colonizer-free city
Pro-tip: when you see a big acreage that's really cheap (especially in the mountain west), it would behoove you to ask why it's so cheap before you hit the buy button. There's a lot of weird rules about grazing rights, water rights, access rights (people get killed over the last two even in the current year, likely all three). You might have just bought a property you can't legally access without a helicopter, because the landowners between you and the dirt road can do what they want and don't want you traipsing across their property.
If they had 3 rivers on the property that property would be massively more expensive... and I don't know that there's a single place in Colorado that has three rivers in a 200 acre area. The west is dry. Not always Sahara dry like southern Arizona, but not an awful lot better. If it looks like rivers, it's a bunch of little washes that are temporarily swollen with snowmelt, and will be dry all summer. The lake is likely a livestock pond at best.
Liberated land. OH boy, please don't tell them about property taxes, I want the taxman to go collect arrears. Rich land. Uh, yeah... 3 Rivers! Any westerners care to explain the goat fornication of water rights out there?
All the memes about the simple, straightforward west go out the window when the insanity of water rights comes into it. I've dipped a toe in and it's terrifying.
On the plus side, it's almost certain that the property has no rivers at all, and the realtor is Mr Haney.
