I agree that community does not need the trappings of a real estate
development. However, for me there is a large obstacle to creating community
with the people around me. I am afraid a lot of things; being rejected,
finding myself committed to people that I cannot agree, and having to give
up part of myself or what I believe in to be a part of "community".

IMHO, creating community is hard. It's the work of life, an ongoing process
that is not appreciated or supported in the current cultural infrastructure.
