SomeA few weeks ago, I learned a new expression while browsing Youtube: Live off the grid.

A few weeks ago is a correction that sounds more natural.

You know the rule : a lot ofhigh demands increases the price because the offers are less significants.

I wandered off a bit…!But I digress...

This is a fancy way of saying 'I wandered off a bit but let me go back to the main story'

Imagine that you are totally sick and you aren’t able to lift a leg out of your bed, it’s always a less source of stressful to know that on the other side of the phone, there is a doctor ready to heal you.

I don’t always have an advised sharp eye to see where my house would need some mends byrepairs for example.

Theose people living out of theff grid are inspiring, some build their own house by themselfves almost from scratch.

These vs those, be careful.

Liveing off the grid

Some weeks ago, I learned a new expression while browsing Youtube: LiveTo live/living off the grid.

Since the start of the COVID19 pandemic, in France, some families werein France have been looking for houses to buy in the countryside or in some regions which weare easily accessible by trains from their working places in the city.

I would say it is good news, however with some restraints thoughcaveats.

The price of houses can rise fastquickly, and it’ creates a problem for local people who want to buy a house afterwards.

Most of the time, people who come from the cities have a better income, and can afford a house offered at a high price on the market.

You know the rule : a lot of demands increase thes price because the offers are less significants.

This societyal phenomenon could be interesting in underpopulated villages.

There are some villages which have the optical fiber and then a fast internet connection.

In American English, a village is usually a small population of people who live in simple dwellings like huts without access to running water or electricity. A small town or municipality may be more appropriate here.

Nothing will really happen by simply snapping theiour fingers.

Now, with the high cost of energy, I don’t really know how theysmall towns will attract investors in the industrial fieldnew residents.

Not to forgetmention that our working costs are expensive compared to many countries.

The word "actors" works here, but it's an uncommon way of saying this. However, I couldn't think of a better way to word it in English. Maybe "regional government bodies", but I'm not sure if that's what you specifically mean by actors in this case.

Nothing will really happen by simply snapping their fingersYou can't snap your fingers and just make all of this happen.

Not to forget that our working costs aremention the fact that the price of labor here is expensive compared to many countries.
