I know plenty of siblings that have saved their $ and bought a bunch of acres and then split up the land so they could live close together. I've mentioned the idea to a few friends and they get excited about it but then they never mention it again. Some personalities just don't have the "get up and go" to make a plan happen, and some don't like change, they just like talking about it. I find it discouraging, but I guess that's just human nature for some.
