That's cool. The one's I'm talking about are still full-on communes. They're great examples of living as a tribe-of-your-own-choosing and being outside of the mainstream paradigm.
I've been meeting with people to organize a repeatable land co-op framework so people can buy land together, and still have their private space. There are many existing examples of failures and successes.
i love it. i think people who take action like this to try to create different ways of living should be supported. or at the very least, left alone to try.
We're planning on a legal defense budget because we know The State will oppose us when they find out what we're doing.
West Virginia, Wyoming and parts of Texas are the only States where you can really build alternative and green. Ironic don’t you think?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, since there are alternative and "green" places here, but if you're talking about state and county building codes, there is a workaround. It's probably different for each state, but it involves having the title to your property, not the "color of title" the state gives you by acquiring a "land patent". It's not a quick and easy process, since the state wants to own your property, but once you have all water, mineral, forest rights, you actually own the land and can ignore codes.
🙂 i’ll check back after you’ve been on the land for a year. you’ll have a better idea what i mean.
I live in a county and state with some of the most strict codes (excluding CA's crazy requirements), and I can build in an environmentally sound way. I don't need to own land to know the "corporate regs" of my county or state.
Sounds like you’re doing your research. I wish you the best! 🙂
I don't know much about this topic. But, how do these commutes generate electricity?
Solar and wind are the most popular in my area. I plan to add alcohol to the "sources of energy" available here. If you grow your own fuel, petroleum doesn't matter so much.
I'm curious about this because I know that Texas has been using bitcoin mining as a means of assistance in stabilizing their electrical grid. 🤔 I wonder if these communes would be open to using rigs to generate whatever electricity they may need.
