The town of Ollolai on the island of Sardinia is willing to sell houses for 1 euro to American residents who decided to leave the country after learning the results of the presidential elections, CNN reports. Immediately after the news of Trump’s victory, the number of search queries on the topic of moving increased thousands of times.

Ollolai has a population of only 1,200 people and the town is looking for ways to increase it. According to Mayor Francesco Columbu, the website liveinollolai.com was created specifically to “meet the need of Americans to move.”
According to information on the website, the village welcomes all those who are tired of world politics and are looking for a “more balanced lifestyle” and new opportunities.
The mayor explained that the proposal is aimed mainly at Americans and for them the process will be expedited.
There are currently around 100 affordable homes available in the village. The cost varies from €1 (the home requires renovation) to €100,000 or more (completely ready to move into).
Last August, Ollolai launched an initiative to attract digital nomads. During the twelfth month, more than 18 thousand people submitted applications.
According to Google, in the United States, in the first 24 hours after the announcement of the election results, the number of search queries on the topic of moving increased significantly:
-
+1270%: “move to Canada”,
-
+2000%: “move to New Zealand”,
-
+820%: “move to Australia”.
