Italian Village Sells $1 Homes to Disenchanted Americans

The Italian village of Ollolai in Sardinia is offering $1 homes to attract American expats disillusioned by the US election results. The initiative aims to revitalize the village, which has suffered from depopulation, by providing affordable housing options, including free temporary homes for digital nomads and ready-to-occupy houses. The village is particularly targeting Americans, offering them a fast-track process to purchase homes, as part of a broader effort to boost its population and economy.

Ireland offers up to $92,000 to entice people to move to its remote islands.

Ireland is offering $92,000 in funding to those who want to refurbish "derelict properties" into their permanent home or a rental home to meet demand for housing on 30 rural islands off the western coast as part of a three-year action plan called Our Living Islands. The measure aims to revitalize population levels on the islands, which have been slowly declining over the years, and seeks to preserve and empower Ireland's 80 island communities for generations to come through measures such as better access to health clinics, tourism marketing, and improved infrastructure.
