What if the government offers you free room and board? That would be a load off your shoulders. But this offer comes with a catch – the place is in an abandoned town. And not only that – the town is located in the middle of nowhere.
Would you dare to live in a historic but abandoned town? The US government has been trying to get people to move to Garnet, an abandoned town in Montana. But they could not convince anyone to give it a try.
The pros and cons
The government did not miss out on pointing out the benefits of making the move like fresh air and beautiful and natural scenic views. You will be living away from the bustle and noise of the city and live a calm and peaceful life with chances of interacting with wildlife.

But there were also downsides to this setup – which is probably why nobody wants to take up the offer. Things like a lack of livelihood options, lack of entertainment, and slow Internet connection have prevented people from making the move.
