The true American religion.
Honestly, I've got some property that I'm thinking would be great to start building really modern tiny homes on. I was thinking if I can get enough people together, it could basically be self sustaining.
The tiny homes would be about 200sq/ft, but really clean lines, very Scandinavian with lots of glass and metal but very sustainable wood exteriors. The glass would keep people reminded that they're on the land and in a community.
We'd make sure there was fiber so the internet would be great at all times, so it would be a very wired community. All naturescaping, spaces for community gardens, outdoor firewood saunas for the community space, and a community firepit for outdoor meetings and events.
There's a river and a lake nearby, so we make it all walking and bike paths within the community. We just build the warmth and community and seamlessly integrate technology in a green way to serve what I call the "Intellect Workers" -- programmers, writers, artists and engineers; people that do the actual work of making society and culture grow. We can reflect that sensibility in our shared gardens.
It really could be something beatiful, and we can subsidize a part of the cost of ownership across the community members, so that it's affordable to the young innovator as much as it is to the less young creators.
Obviously science and rational thinking will dominate, and we will seek to grow the community to SUSTAINABLE levels, so that it can remain a space of innovative creation.
I really think we could get this done. How many can I put you down for?
I'm not rich but I get a va pension and I'm techy 🤷
You've just invented the Co-op. Now if you can get around residential zoning and all the red tape involved forming one, it's a great idea. There are tons of good and bad examples out there (let me know if you want resources), so make sure you're looking at where it's gone wrong and how to avoid the common obstacles.
I spent part of my childhood growing up in a co-op in city limits. It was so great growing up next to do many families all pitching in on projects and activities together, and summer holidays as a kid were unparalleled
A) Condos instead of individual tiny homes is probably better, for density, cost, and efficiency reasons. I would strongly advise bumping the square footage up a little to make it more marketable and sustainable long-term.
B) Glass and metal are expensive. Both in up-front costs and efficiency losses. Need to be careful in how these are implemented.
C) If you need an architect, hit me up.
