I'm working w/ like-minded people from reddit/HN to build intentional communities (commune, essentially).

Start w/ small community, build a glamping sustainable living space...

Tent living but not complete roughing it, communal shower, restrooms, kitchen, gardens, laundry, and worker spaces...then little living areas will be setup by families with gates so children don't run off, or get lost.

I think mvp needs:

Living areas. Land. Storm safety spot. Restrooms. Showers. Food Prep area. Solar/Electricity. Water.

Ideally in warmer climes as tents/yurts I think would be hard to keep warm in winter than cool in summer...

The idea being that the commune could pool resources and grow/expand and work towards fixing earth by making it fashionable to live in such communities...




May I recommend some precedents for consideration, some more successful than others. ;)

I'd say, start a band or a music festival, then just keep it going. The other ones, ymmv.
