Yeah read the blog post, that's by design--the town was abandoned in the 80s and has been maintained by a private owner. I think it would be kind of cool to live there as an escape from the hustle and bustle of cities. Like living in a shack in the woods, except the shack has most of the amenities of modern life (circa 1980).

I agree!

I would totally move there assuming life support. Health, Food, Power, Heat, Water.

What do for work - and if trying to make a Hacker Commune, how structure (I actually lived on a commune and know how badly they are managed)

StarLink. Remote work outpost. AirBnB it too maybe?
I think that's missing the point by a hundred miles. Once you bring in Starlink, it becomes like any other place, just remote. Try moving there and living like in the 80s - without internet. That would be the appeal I think.
I’m in. Is there some crypto angle? (totes!!)
