I'm thinking about trying to join an intentional community to learn the ropes of farm and homestead skills but especially learning the hardest skill of being a member of a horizontally organized democratic community (and all the mundane and not fun aspects involved). Maybe after a year or two of that, if I still have a taste for it, I might try to start my own somewhere. We're all we've got and I think just trying to survive 3°+ warming in the next couple of decades is gonna be really nasty.
How bout you?
Not that I could ever afford to stay here, but even the Bay Area the amount of people I work with that are going incredibly, deeply in debt to live in places like Dublin, Danville, Walnut Creek etc is mind boggling. They’re already boring, hot as hell furnaces. Do they expect them to be a nice place to live when the tech industry falters, the water dries up and they’re in permanent 100+ºF weather?
