What type of commune do you want to live in?

That is, assuming you want to live on a commune.

Mine is most likely in a tropical climate, and it can be a large condominium building, or small cottages on a big piece of land. If it is little house there are paths that connect everything; you can use a golf cart, walk, segway, and bicycle to get places on the paths.

As “green” as possible, while still having all the modern conveniences. Solar power, instant hot (no hot water heater, except for one at the main rec center) reservoir for rain water to be used on the lawns. There would be a farm and some green houses. A main house with a gym, aerobics room, dining hall, pool, and a couple tennis courts, dinner will be served every evening. People can opt to eat there, or in their own homes. Everyone is required to cook one meal a month for the community. People will take on different chores according to their skills. People can trade jobs, an hour of work for an hour of work. So someone can clean houses and earn “hours” and then use their hours to buy an hour of babysitting, or medical care, or computer help, or whatever, depending on what skills are available on the commune.

I wouldn’t be into a nudist colony or anything like that.

Outsiders are allowed in at any time, all friends and family are welcome.

I almost forgot, I want to give credit to incendiary_dan for giving me the idea for this question. I hope he answers.
