Anyone interested in chipping in on some land (20 acres, 40, more?) and escaping this crazy society? I'm envisioning a small off-grid community of private homes, a community garden, a water source, solar/wind/hydro systems, and a workshop/barn. We could have privacy from one another, while working together on community projects.This would not be like a hippie commune, but a place for residents to invest in a new way of life.

This isn't a completely unique concept, but many of the existing "intentional communities" seem to involve religion/spirituality somewhere along the line. It would be cool to find some friendly, like-minded (non-delusional) people that want to be more independent from today's unsustainable and unstable culture.

I live in Colorado and have seen the effects of climate change getting more severe (high temps, drought, and wildfires). I'd like to choose a region that is expected to avoid some of the most extreme changes predicted. Sound good?

There is bound to be quite a fight over the best places...and I don't mean just legal battles.

You mean the best properties?

Check out Arden, DE to see an older community built around the arts. The collective owns the land, but each individual or family owns a house. It's an interesting place. I almost moved there once.

Some teachers that worked for my father did that.

I don't know all the rules or if it's a state or federal thing. But they homesteaded and made sure someone stayed in residence for the required time then declared themselves a town. I've never visited and frankly don't even know if it's still there but I did hear that at one point they were successful in AZ. It can be done.🙂

Yes, others have managed to pull it off successfully. My understanding is that the main hurdle is zoning.

Perhaps an island I n Costa Rica ??? 🙂

Costa Rica would be amazing, but they're not predicted to fare very well, unfortunately. 😟

I'm interested. The far Northeast is a lovely place, as yet fairly unaffected by climate change.

Yes, I've been seeing that some states in the Northeast and also Midwest are less susceptible to the most extreme fallout.

@suesue2222 From what I've read, Vermont the is #1 state unaffected by climate change. NH is #2.
