Hi!
I'm from Vancouver BC
In traditional Western Societies it was Religious orders that filled the role of modern welfare
They also dealt with education and medicine
Singapore has dealt with homless neets
It's literally illegal to be poor and unemployed there.
They put you in an apartment and give you a job- say sweeping streets
You have no option but to sweep the street.
If you don't they cane you
So now you have a job, and can pay for the apartment.
Also, for Singapore, they do have the Asian perception of honour and shame.
Which is much stronger than in Anglo culture today
Charity is key
In Europe it was the Church that provided charity
That was one of the main purposes of monasteries.
We dont have to, but we should look at how it provided social assistance.
I've lived in rural close-knit christian communities before. Usually if a family has a problem, the rest of the community comes together and gets them out of it.
That family then feels an obligation to contribute in the future
This community is open to all western faiths right?
So it would be nondemonitainally Christian?
That said, some Catholic monastic orders are comfy AF.
How much land are we thinking of?
1000 Acres?
to start?
Don;t know if any of you knew this, but the Yukon still allows homesteading land claims.
So, if you find land, improve it, and develop it, the government gives it to you.
The columbia valley in BC is very good.
If you're doing Alaska you may as well do the Yukon where land is free.
Yes
But they want people to develop it
They honestly don;t care who.
What population?
Not if we are doing a good job developing the land.
What about choosing two communities on both sides of the Canada-US border?
Make sure they are close enough
That way, we dont have to worry as much about visas
Thats an idea
Or the BC/WA/Idaho border
Of course
We might want to look at the Columbia Valley region of BC/WA
It's got a decent climate, good land, and not as susceptible to earthquakes as the coast.
Not very comfy tbh
I want my comfy trad timberframe home.
