- Mr Long: (any relation to Lazerus?)
-
- I must agrea! All dreams must be kept alive! However, it is indead esey
- to despair...We all have the good/bad days.
-
- In refrence to comuenal living, I have made efforts into this avenue.
- My observations and coments are as follows:
- 1) It is difficult, but not inpossable, to find people who both want to
- Live in a Comuenal way AND also HAVE AT LEAST SOME MONEY.
-
- 2) Of those with both of the above, a vast number of them are unexceptable to
- ME because of a fue common resones that I have come across:
- A) They wish to secead from the Union, and do not have a functional plan to
- do so. I put them in the crazy bin...becuase they are both extream,
- and do not have two intelegent thoughts put together to make it work.
- (Extreams are OK by me, IF they WORK)
-
- 3) There is an intention to perform illegal actions which I find obhorant in
- the comeun. Growing Dope, manufactuering speed, etc. That is no way
- to make money...(adding to the sickness)
-
- 4) Members wish to make a totleiterian government out of the comuen, with guess
- who in controll...
-
- Aside from the above, one must also get along with ones naighbors, this eliminat
- ing, with the above, 95% of attempted comuens from my list...
-
- Not imposable. but difficult.

-
- ON LAND IN CALIFORNIA:
-
- By GOD! yes, the prices are THAT BAD...I live in a piss-ant university-loging
- town...you would think land would be in the glut...not so.
-
- I have gone over maps at the accesors office, and scouted out land on foot...
- I'v made offers...but if land is BUILDABLE (ie, not a cliff face) it is expensiv
- ve, without exception.
-
- I'v bben to reposesed land octions...after vueing the land..all the plots below
- 20,000$$ where both unbuildable...and unsold...
-
- Why don't I move? Say, where did you say you lived...?
