Hi, What strikes me in the discussion so far is that Liz seems to be talking about a system where a purchase or project comes up for discussion and the community either consenses on it and pays for it, or it doesn't. Alternately there is the system in Sonora, where Racheli, Becky, and I live, where we have developed an extensive "wish list" of consensed upon purchases without final approval to complete the purchase. In our community this happened because we moved into our community with the happy circumstance that there was more than 100 big ones left over from the construction budget for us to spend. Now that we have just completed the process of applying that money to the "wish list" we have part of that list remaining in limbo since the funds ran out before we reached the bottom. There is some sentiment towards maintaining that list as future funds accumulate (there is a process in place for accumulating funds), but others feel that that isn't worth doing since it is likel y that new, more pressing desires will arise and/or desire for the previous items will change. I would like to hear Liz's opinion to a scenario where the community decides that it wants a garden gazebo costing 10,000 dollars but can only agree to begin saving money at the rate of 5000 annually. Some one or two folk who spend more time in the garden and want it sooner volunteer to pay for it now. Ignoring the loan alternative, is this corrupting?
