We wanted land. We wanted to build something rooted. Then we heard the stories: a man near Dover fighting eviction from his own land, breeding pigs purely to annoy the neighbours who reported him. An intentional community now in a six-figure lawsuit after founding families walked away. A woman who gave up on her own land in Spain and went back to van life instead—happier for it. Alternative living, off-grid dreams, and the paperwork nobody posts about all in one episode.
