Auroville

[honeydip]

Ì have an idea to buy some land in France with other people and start making something like Auroville in India. I have had a recent good idea on how to generate money for land taxes and externally bought food. People who want to live there would have to pay an initial lump sum of 30k. For that they will own a very small living quarters and have to take up a job within the community. Selection of people who live there will be very strict initially as will need the correct people to set the foundans. How popular would you say this would be?

It never worked in .

Sorry I was trying to remember where it had worked .

sounds a bit like an Amish community - been done. I wouldn't want to live anywhere where I'd been "selected" - how boring to live always amongst like minded people.

Wouldn't work for me, how could I buy a computer?

There will be a computer hall. It will not be going backward in technology

Doubt you'll get many Poles Bulgarians or Lithuanians to stump up that sort of cash , unless of course you expect them all to work for free!!
The more of your posts I read the more I'm beginning to build a picture of your world, strange place to say the least.

Actuall to build it I will get European nationals from wealthier countries to work for free.

# Disabled or not doesnt make any difference'#
How will you support all those disabled who can not work. ?

#For that they will own a very small living quarters and have to take up a job within the community#
What work would be available within the community ?

[honeydip]

If they are disabled they would have to learn to code and can work on the web site to sell products
