How bad are things in the built up areas you guys are?
Thankfully I'm not in a border state (although I wouldn't complain if I was in based Texas), or anywhere else that seems to be importing a lot of problematic people (we have enough problematic Americans already living in this blue shithole anyway), but holy shit the "unhoused" population has exploded in the nearby cities. And I've seen it elsewhere too. Things are absolutely getting worse across the board, as far as major population areas go.
I'd feel worse for these people - many were obviously screwed by government nonsense and/or psyops - if most of them weren't also druggy weirdoes. It's sad; I want people to be happy, but there's also obviously some people you can't help. They'll either do it on their own, or not. The majority of homeless people seem to fall into this category.
How many of you are thinking of buying a plot land in the middle of nowhere...?
Thinking of? All the time! Feasibly able to at this time? Big ol' frowny face. Shit's expensive and I don't have enough money or prospects. Hopefully at some point, though. I'd love a nice little bit of rural land where I can park a trailer, and (very eventually) build a house of my own. Also, shoot guns, because 'Merica.
I'd consider buying a plot of land in a desert that nobody wants...
Yup, it's crossed my mind. I just don't really like the desert, though. And it's often far away from population...which, while great, also means it's not convenient to get to either. So unless you plan to live there a big chunk of the time, it makes a pretty impractical getaway. I don't want to have to drive hours just to get to barren land I'd technically own (but would still be renting from the government, of course.) Taxation is theft.

Many if not all homeless shelters stipulate no drug use when staying. Not only do drugs run counter to a shelter's mission to get the homeless back on their feet, it attracts drug dealers seeking more "customers" to get hooked on their product.
The ones on the streets, they've made their choice.
