@girlwithsmiles these are some twisty buildings too. If you google Taos earthship images you can see more of the structures. THis is more about function

I lived in Taos in the 90's. It is a pretty amazing community. Mike Reynolds came up with the design. My brother lived in a Reynolds house made out of beer cans. It was really cool.

yes. I like the way the area looks. I find the comments about it being a trashy place puzzling. I posted more related to the style of construction. I like the idea
These places look cool, but the community seems to sustain itself mostly by outside donations. It's really frustrating to me, because they talk like they are self sufficient, but they really aren't

Is that in this video? I mostly look at it for the structures.I don't live in an earthship but I have a passive solar house and catch rainwater. I don't have utility bills but I do have to buy other things.I really hadnt heard claims beyond the house being self sufficient
@btroje it's not in the video. I did a lot of research on this community almost, wow, I guess fifteen or twenty years ago. At that time, at least, they claimed to be a fully self sufficient community, but it turned out there were a lot of rich kids pumping money into the place (because ideology) until their parents finally had enough.
@CraeftSmith Maybe it has changed. I havent heard anyone talking about it as a cohesive community like that. I think of it as a freaky subdivision
@btroje ah, well that is nice. It would be a really fun subdivision
