  1. I like the concept of an intentional community, for the past several years, it has not made sense to me for people who don't care for each other to buy houses so close to each other and yet people here do just that and don't even try to get to know their neighbors…not good. We need more intentional communities here in the States. By the way Curtis, feel free to address the very inappropriate and assumptive comment about Rose Creek Village that was put out by a poster here, because it blows my mind how someone like yourself plays awesome and funky music by Birocratic, an artist from NYC and yet somebody had the nerve to say the shit they said below. Thanks in advance.

  2. "Man, everybody is so friendly here…." Welcome to the deep south Curtis, the country's best/worst kept secret! It's changing but still retains that basic neighborly spirit, in my opinion. If you tolerate heat and humidity (and every garden disease/pest known to man), it's a great place to live!

  3. "Intentional Community"……. sigh

    I get a severe case of hooded dead eyes followed by a slo-mo facepalm every time I hear the latest version of "lefty re-labeling" of long employed practices that predate their arrival by multiple centuries. Townies that go country are sometimes afflicted with severe cases of undiagnosed "Headupbummeritis" that is actually spotted immediately by locals that are too reserved to point it out to them.

  4. Thanks for interviewing Ray about this! I've been interested in founding a community for a decade. I've sometimes started to doubt the longevity of an ic, since 90% fail. Well, we can see that some do make it. I think that the founding group was friends first helped make this community a lasting one.
    I currently live in a similar rental situation. It is owned by a guy that founded a commune in the 60's. Now he prefers to have tenants and fewer meetings. The decision making here is still somewhat participatory though.
