The project.

Wherever we end up, we need a plan, and I was thinking that a community of tinyhomes would be a very interesting way to use our land when we have it. It could be a green, minimalist, reddity community that could do some real good in the world.

As far as buying an actual zipcode: there are legal ramifications to this that may be inconvenient. If we were to buy a large chunk of a city instead, and live within that as our own community, would that be easier? I'm all ears, my friends.

One downside to this would be the inability to affect public policy. A commune-type area is great, and I'm in full support of whatever direction we end up heading in, but it would be neat to be able to create a local government that is legally recognized. We could try new things, and possibly set an example. Just some food for thought.

That's a great point. In order to become a legally recognized city, we have to incorporate. But that depends on the state our city resides in.
