(#3) Harmony
- Minnesota, USA
Tucked away in southeastern Minnesota and boasting a population of just over 1,000, Harmony, MN, is a little prairie town offering big incentives to move. There's just one catch: you have to build your own home there.
When you do, the city offers you anywhere from $5,000 to $12,000. You can find old houses, but they require too much work and financial investment for many younger homebuyers. To remedy this, the Minnesota town gives cash to offset the cost of new construction.

About This Tool
Many critics and politicians accuse the federal government of excessive spending. In fact, social welfare accounts for a large proportion of the federal government’s expenditures, and rent subsidies are one of them. The trend of leaving big cities and moving to smaller towns with a slower pace of life and lower living costs is intensifying.
But moving to a new place is a huge change, which is why some places in the United States are willing to provide moving incentives to attract more people to live there. The random tool lists 13 places in the US that will pay you to live there, if you have a moving plan, you may wish to check the relevant policies.
