Urban Exodus

Moving with the Times by Pacific Domes

The urban exodus may have started as a temporary fix, driven by people’s response to living in times of extremes – the recent pandemic, along with concerns around personal safety, the high cost of living and general decline in the quality of city life. That said, moving with the times has, in many ways shifted perspectives for the better. Urban dwellers are seriously reconsidering where they choose to live, work and raise their families.  

The urban exodus has grown into a back-to-the-land-movement as people discover that there’s a safer, simpler and happier life within reach. According to conservative polls as many as one-third of people living in densely populated areas are cutting cords with city life in search of a more self-reliant and sustainable lifestyle by moving off-grid.

The Urban Exodus – Whose Moving?

The urban exodus has drawn people from all walks of life who are burnt-out, suffering from emotional exhaustion and leaving city life –  urbanites, telecommunters, homesteaders, homeschoolers, preppers, therapists, artists, and musicians, to name just a few.

Do you appreciate the natural world and love the thought of reconnecting with Nature?  Do you long to trade the sound of commuter traffic for a peaceful rural life – following your passion, your values and waking up to Nature sounds? Then, this blog might spark a desire to hasten that move. Don’t be surprised to find that friends will want to visit you just to get away for a rewilding weekend!

Urban Exodus Fuels the Tiny Home Movement

The tiny house movement is attractive to many because it spells simplicity, mobility, low-cost and less-maintenance. But, is it a short-term or long-term solution? A tiny home dome may be a great alternative that speaks to all of the above reasons and more.

What if you could erect your 2-story off-grid tiny dome home in weeks, instead of months? How’s this possible? A prefab dome package is shipped direct to your building site complete with all the materials you need to assemble the kit yourself, or to hire a subcontractor or skilled labor. Included in the Pacific Domes Kit are the frame, cover, accessories and an easy-to-follow DIY instruction manual.

Urban Exodus Grows Work from Home – Work from Dome

The ability to telecommute  and work from home has quickened the mass exodus and created an urban shuffle across the country. Thanks to better broadband connectivity and communication technologies, like Zoom, people are learning that they don’t need to be nested in cities to get their office work done.  

Cities have become hostile to mom and pop businesses and many entrepreneurs are learning that they can recalibrate a way forward by moving to smaller communities that welcome their services. Businesses, like our friends at Tiny Life Consulting, are thriving in the wake of the urban exodus.

Urban Exodus Grows a Nomadic Lifestyle

The urban exodus has quietly transitioned into new opportunities for remote work to go mainstream. Digital nomads are fast becoming accepted as the new normies.

Domes: the Perfect Solution to the Housing Crunch

Speaking of the urban exodus, a Pacific Domes prefab geodome kit is the perfect solution to affordable housing. Whether needed for temporary or permanent housing, domes have several key features that make them both cost-effective and practical. For starters, they are lightweight and portable, which means they can be shipped or transported anywhere in the world. They are ideally suited for off-grid living and have gone up all over the planet – from the Sahara desert to the Arctic.

In addition to being portable, domes are also easy to build. They don’t require special skills or deep foundations, so they can be assembled by one or two people without heavy equipment. Depending on the size and complexity of the construction, larger domes can take just days or weeks to set up. And once they’re built, domes are naturally energy-efficient and eco-friendly – making them a low-impact option for a sustainable environment.

But that’s not all – domes are also incredibly versatile and have many functional uses in a variety of different settings. They make great work-from-home studios for artists, backyard guesthouses or Airbnb rentals, remote base camps for adventure seekers, and even eco-travel hospitality or retreat centers and yoga studios. Plus, in times of crisis, such as natural disasters, domes can serve as emergency relief shelters for those in need.
