Some of us can't move to a different location.

Some of us don't want to, all things considered.

This doesn't mean we should compromise on our other values, like finding good people to work with. To hang out with. To trade with. To enjoy local events and establishments with. And to have intelligent, stimulating, and educated conversations along the way.

And to know you are living with basic needs of food, shelter, security, safety, and energy. Recreation is important too.

Basically, I want to figure out how to live free and happy in an unfree and neurotic world (which it seems to be from my vantage).

No matter where we live, don't we all have to figure this out to some extent or another?

What if the secret to "Going Galt" is to figure out how you can do that no matter where you live? That's the promised land I want to live in.
