We're at least better organized with the two local clubs now merged, membership up to 19 which is double from last year and having a well-led and organized search committee; but it's been a slog with 9 months of searches, vetting, walk-throughs, offers etc.
Some personal politics as you'd expect too in that some will only accept locales close to their homes, others object to the more affordable properties due to the perceived security issues in a given area. so I'm leaving it up to the rest of the membership. Wayne's club example of buying some land and building to suit has resonated though and gotten some traction, but that's problematic too as well for reasons that would make for some pretty obvious if not dry reading hence my " thread drift" here's otherwise complete.
