1 of 15: It has been hard to convey, through anecdotes or data, how bizarre the U.S. housing market has become. For example, a Bethesda, Maryland homebuyer working with @Redfin included in her written offer a pledge to name her first-born child after the seller. She lost.— Glenn Kelman (@glennkelman) May 25, 2021
Id step down from the idea of a "commune" since it's a bit too idealistic and everyone needs to be 100% in and even the there's drama. There are already existing self-sustenance communes that exist, of you want to join.
I do think there's a lot of upside to the "level below" that though (the broad term is intentional community). Rounding people up to build or buy a multifamily unit and establish an HOA/co-op structure would be pretty solid. Or buy a bunch of land and use an HOA or some other legal structure to be "land mates" or something like that. The key is of course finding people who both have the means and a compatible mindset to get something like that to happen.
Someone needs to form a leftist fund to buy land and build communes. I would love to live in a commune.

Yeah, I was thinking more along those lines. I'm imagining an HOA that forbids having a lawn and establishes a communal tool library.
yes exactly, check out ic.org for more resources (maybe find an existing IC in your area too idk)
