Hi Guy,

What about natural building material, extremely small foot print Intentional
Communities?

The prices I am hearing are still well into the $100k to $300k per unit.

I am looking seriously at an all cob community, as well as using logs from
the ranch. This would substantially reduce the entry cost.

In addition to this, I continue to believe that there is a way to have
private space that is not owned or leveraged for profit.

Check out Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage.  Strong eco-covenants, well under 

$100k per unit, and i don't remember exactly what they've worked out re 

profit and investment but it's probably good, they are dedicated, 

thoughtful folks who've put a lot of work into their 

policies.  Non-cohousing intentional community in Missouri.  Missouri, 

where there are no building codes, which is a lot of why they chose such a 

remote location, so that they could actually do the eco-building 

stuff.  www.dancingrabbit.org

Cheers,

--Tree
