I’d love to do this, I need to connect with more people.
There is a monetary in my city, right in the centre. The youngest nun is over 80 something. I was thinking, if the women from our group of friends would join them, soon those nuns would die and we would have this massive building in the city centre all for ourselves to live, party, build community workshops etc. We would basically steal the infrastructure from the church. Also we would destroy the bells and sell the copper, so the entire surroundings would never have to endure this horrible sound anymore.
But whenever I present the women in my group they launch. Kinda understandable, I wouldn’t want to live as a nun for a few years, or even a day myself.
I tried commune life, would not recommend.
I’d suggest an RV park/tiny house neighborhood, that’s the best way to get something that could meet most people’s needs and might actually be stable and sustainable. And have a community garden.
People today watching old SNL sketches: “You know what? I actually do want to live in a van down by the river.”
If you are into this there is a cool newsletter called “Supernuclear” that you should look up
I want a plot of land but no community. thanks
I want to so bad. Unfortunately any plot of land that’s worthwhile is too expensive
where I live all the large rural plots and farmland has been purchased by big corpos.
That’s why you team up
Everyone I know to do it with is broke too
Or a commune in the city itself!
I found my people, just commune in the city for me personally
I have no idea why people romanticize the countryside. You wanna work at a farm? Go ahead without me
Not saying it’s easy, but I think in some ways, it’s quite a bit more fulfilling with the effort to payoff ratio. Plus, I assume it might work in a pleasant way if one actually has a community where people are willing to help out and do things together
It’s a very romantic view. Places like that already exist and are called farming villages. There’s a good reason most people leave them for the cities.
I work in tech and all I want to do is work on a farm instead. Someday.
Maybe you should start by keeping a few plants alive for a year or so.
You can buy a large plot of land by the city.
Can you? Because in many places areas adjacent to cities have been turned into car-centric suburbs
The wealthiest people I know live on big plots of land just outside of town. They pay less than half the property tax, have more than double the land you would in the city at the same price, and it’s only a couple minute drive into the city for ammenities
