Communal Living now and in the aftermath

[Mortblanc]

I lived near a large and well respected communal farm for most of my adult life.

I watched their evolution through all its stages to reach the self supporting/sustaining system that exists today.

It was a journey that many could observe and save themselves the grief of reinventing the wheel.

The first and most intelligent action these people made was making themselves a valuable asset to the local community through medical, health and healthy food outreach programs.

I must also point out that they would not be allowed to establish their community today as they did in the 1970s
due to universal zoning restrictions that would prevent them building homes without proper wiring, water and sanitation systems. neither could they raise their children in the original conditions based on child welfare laws that now make it illegal to house a child in a structure without running water, sewer systems or electricity.
