and then encourage people to buy their own lots as time goes on
i dont see the purpose of running a community where everyone gets 10 acres instead of everyone getting 1 and basically sharing or using the 9 together
so we achieve a point of "saturation"
thats sounds like it would just create a lof of conflict
which is why it would be put into a trust of sorts with a steward of fiduciary duty
sounds like a terrible system with nothing to recommend it, private ownership has worked beautifully for Europeans for millenia
not saying its perfect but its better than subdividing large swaths of land into little pieces
why?
the king owned the land
and the peasants worked it
rented land is also privately owned
it could be like an HOA or covenant system
where we own the land, but we get together and set some standards and define use of common areas
like parks, etc.
that sounds like the best idea to me
or DNR land
I have nothing agains other people participating in that kind of system, but personally I have no interest in getting involved in something like that. I like having my own land
you can have your own land the issue with that is that who will produce who would want to take away fro their land to lets say build a greenhouse for everyone...who will put the community barn on their property or will you have to build a barn for everyone
I will have my own land, it will not be shared. Though having agreements between fellow men in the community about keeping our land looking nice, that's fine. But it will be us that keeps our land looking good.
@thatdudeiscool brings up a good point
it's better and easier if we have a few shared resources and buildings
so we will not have a central power station that will most cost effectively provide it will be individualized
In a rural community, it might just be better to set up your own individual power supply
how do other farmers and homesteaders do it these days?
what we really need is a single wealthy dude to buy up around a hundred or so acres, and then parcel out lots for people who want to buy them
well a farmer wont sell their tilled acreage...its the only part that generates a product so it is off limits otherwise you have no farm no matter how many descendants may take it over one day and wish to divide it
and then parts of the land could have communal buildings or resources
im sure there are normal, legal ways to purchase multiple lots from a single seller
yeah but isn't that functionally the same thing?
yeah, the funny thing with the collective ownership being most effective thing is that it's literally always failed
yeah it never works
and lefty communes try it over and over again
@Orlunu a farm can exist a a family for hundreds of years without a clear beneficiary and its still technically shared or collectivized land to the family
yeah but there's always a sole owner, or it can be held in a trust
though I don't know a whole lot about the legal mumbo jumbo with that
missing some important word early on there, but family ownership and community collective ownership are very much the same thing
unless we're going to have a community patriarch in this model who makes the decisions for the "household"
so fi you cant portion off a majority of the ladn for uses like farming who will be able to farm
What?
