Dear Ones,

In the Southwestern United States, there exist very good possibilities for people of moderate fixed means … such as those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security, and veterans’ benefits … to live comfortably.

Further, there is the infrastructure to support them … such as food stores, clothing stores, gas stations, and often bus transportation and basic healthcare facilities as well. There has been quite an exodus from small towns to the cities in recent years, and this has left vacant apartments and houses, vacant motels, and vacant businesses and office buildings. Thus the infrastructure is there, waiting for those who want to move to quieter locations, although a little fix-up of the buildings may be necessary.

The influx of people of moderate means to these areas which till now have been declining in population, would boost the local economies, and might provide for the newly arriving people from the cities a welcome relief from urban crowding and the attendant ills of crime, traffic congestion, noise and smog pollution. Further, it would offer a chance to be closer to community life, and to be close to nature.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
