Has life in the U.S. become too political? You can buy a house in Italy for $1.

A village in Sardinia, Italy, called Ollolai, is dangling an offer it says is for politics-weary Americans in search of a reprieve: houses for next to nothing.
The promotion, aimed at foreigners disenchanted with their day-to-day lives, offers residences for as low as just €1, or about $1. By incentivizing Americans and others to move overseas and spend money renovating property and patronizing local businesses, the offer, in turn, serves to boost the area's own economy. Ollolai occupies roughly 7,000 acres in the Barbagia province in Sardinia.
"Are you worned [sic] out by global politics? Looking to embrace a more balanced lifestyle while securing new opportunities? It's time to start building your European escape in the stunning paradise of Sardinia," reads the advertisement on a website dedicated to recruiting foreigners to live in Ollolai.
