I'm thinking with 400 acres and builders, we could have houses or apartment buildings or just rooms
I suppose if you're paying rent, it'll be what you can afford
Kids should be allowed as well as any animal you may already have

I even like the idea of having the yearly reunions on the compound for those that don't want to live there
Renting rooms out for this reunion at great prices should bring many
besides everyone will be so envious, they'll want to see the place

Oh and June, I don't care where the place is built as long as we're all in it together

As for the too much togetherness...that's what vacations are for

Well it would have all the potential problems that the site has: some people just there to cause trouble/conflicts, some people being intolerant and bigoted with respect to others, etc. And then those who might take advantage of the kindness and generosity of others. Duplicity, etc.

I guess what I am saying is that there would have to be a rigorous screening policy before letting people in. And there might be politics around said screening policy, and camps might spring up and get divided, etc.

I am not saying it's not a great idea, I guess I am just aware of all the potential pitfalls of such a thing. Nothing that is good and right and important is easy.

IMHO that those people who took the time to travel to the Reunion, really would get along in person here.

We had no conflict, we had no duplicty, like any small community there would be problems that could arise, but this would be reality - and not the internet where all we can do is time out someone.

People wouldn't move there that weren't interested in being there and sharing the space IMHO.

Would you want to live on a BFP compound?
What skills can you contribute?
Would you want to do community meals every night in the "Mess Hall"?
Would people still need to pay something into the system like rent, even if it was only nominal?
Do you think you'd get tired of living with family all year long?
What pro's and con's can you see to this idea?
What input do you have?

Let's speak it into the Universe!

First off, congratulations on winning (saying your affirmations in the hear and now strengthens them);

1.I would want to live on a BFP compound in my own little place. Not in a dormitory though. I have to have utter silence in large portions of my life.
2.I am a psychic. I can tell you shit.
I am a great cook. I can make you fat and happy.
I am a fair mediator and can help folks negotiate intricate, yucky personal matters.
I can do pedicures on cats, rabbits, ferrets and dogs.
I tell great bedtime stories.
I'm great with kids.
3. Absolutely not on the community meals. I'd rather that was a once a week thing as a meeting time or just gathering. I love communal food gatherings but I would not be happy if they were all the time. Maybe as a drop in thing?
4. Yes on rent. A certain percentage of sweat equity plus cold, hard cash.
5. As long as privacy was respected and noise levels maintained, it would be all good. As Wolfy so wisely points out...that's what vacations are for.
6a. Pros: A community who gets me. A family who would be there for the long haul.
6b. Cons: A community who is, by definition, defined by sexual preferences on any level is going to see NRE (New Relationship Energy), Lesbian Bed Death, Bitter Breakups. We would have to have rules in place that were voted upon, agreed upon and not slung aside at the first drop of an "Important Couple" breaking up.
7. I love the idea and would be there as long as a whole hell of a lot of communication happened. Knowing this crowd, I don't think that's an issue.

My vision would be that it would look like a loose subdivision with everyone having their own house. We'd have several different housing styles available: 3 bedroom/2 bath, 2 bedroom/1 bath, and 1 bedroom/1 bath.

I like the idea of having common space in the middle but everyone could retire to their private houses when the community stuff got to be overwhelming.

always2late · 10-23-2011, 08:19 PM

I volunteer to be a nurse in belle's hospital wing

. If there is any money left...after the houses are built...or if we bring in any money, could we also start a fund for a care facility for those in our community when we become aged and/or unable to take care of ourselves unassisted?

Arwen · 10-23-2011, 08:21 PM

Intentional Community is what we've been building with this planet. I can see this in real-time.

Can we have Zombie Street and Penpal Lane and .....

Medusa · 10-23-2011, 08:24 PM

Let's name the streets!

We have:

Zombie Street
Penpal Street

I'd like to see a "You are belong to me Way"

PapiChino · 10-24-2011, 05:53 PM

We'll have our own fruit and vegetable garden. I'm not good with gardens, but I would be happy to slaughter the lambs.. I love lambs.

Sorry vegetarians and vegans..

I want to be part of security too.

And horses..... for riding, not eating...

I'm wondering what you meant by "took the time?"
Maybe I just have jealousy issues for those of you that got to go to the reunion, because for us, we really WANTED to go, but didn't HAVE the time. I'm sure you're not implying non attendees just couldn't be bothered to attend? I'm just reading this through my sensitive filter?

I think it was a statement where you can't reverse it in order to derive the inverse meaning. I read it more like, troublemakers wouldn't take the time to come all that way. Not that people who didn't go are troublemakers.

But I was there.

And I think I behaved even - reformed troublemaker that I am.

DayWalker has decided the compound needs an old school style church with stained glass windows exposed beams wood floors antique pews Fridays & Saturdays it can be used as a large dungeon with stations on Sunday church!

Can I be the keeper of everything Baby Jesus?
I just LOVE Baby Jesus **
I will put him away during dungeon day/nights.

BstlMyhart · 10-04-2012, 06:15 AM

I've actually thought of this myself. The "compound" would be in the mountains of Ruidoso, NM though lol And everyone would have their own space...house/cottage...with 1 large building for gatherings. Figured a couple of hundred acres in the mountains would do the trick.

Electrocell · 10-04-2012, 09:40 AM

The amish and menonite make it work. We could even set up windmills or if near water use it for our power supply. Then there is solar.

Looks like we have mutiple talented people in the community. Oh well never hurts to dream never know when it might become a reality.
