Just another note on this topic. There are a few people in my community (and I've heard this from others as well) who do not attend meals because they are too loud and too chaotic. So there is this natural selection process for new comers. They come to a dinner as part of their getting to know community. If they can tolerate the chaos,noise of community meals (assuming that is how your meals are) they inquire further, those that can't tolerate that environment, don't. So loud, chaotic community meals may become a filter for who joins you. So over time, you will become a community of people who mostly tolerate loud chaotic meals. The exact same is true for communities that have quiet meditative meals. People who find that attractive are more likely to join, those that find it repressive don't. There are several other factors which over time will filter in or out new members. Sometimes you may not even realize these factors are causing people to choose to live there. So in the first five or six years you will have the greatest diversity you will probably ever have, and then, slowly over time, the filters will change the demographics as people move away and are replaced by others, who are filtered by what you are and what you do.
