Yes, oxymoron I know. But like many of you, I am stuck in :amerikkka:

So if you could pick anywhere to live in the States, where would it be? And why? Ideally where far left ideology is the norm.

    Would a co-living situation work? Multiple families living in a city pooling resources to raise their families and purchase houses?

    I thought I read an article about communal living in Oakland once, but all I could find from a quick search were new for-profit co-living startups or real estate companies turning apartments into dorms and profiting from it.

      This is my ideal situation. Have some nice roommates in a regular house, but somehow manage to get a bunch of houses with a shared alley so you can have a :grillman: :grill: with your commie neighbors.

      Utopian communes are and have always been a racket ever since the first ones in frontier Ohio/Indiana.

        I'm working towards "this but more than just a grill"; there are already the vague beginnings of this in my location and much more progress made in another couple locations in the network.

        It's quite possible to pay a mortgage on a house outright on 5 years of saving from a full-time job here.
