I want a community based living. Where everyday a few people take on community based chores like cooking for the community. Cleaning up. Etc etc.

Everyone knows everyone's name

Parenting is done community.

Only a few select people actually 'go to work' to earn money. Everyone else just helps out in the community.

Instead of having 100 individual dinners. It's all done in one place. Thus saving fuel and time.

Etc etc.

I'll never live to see anything like that unless I go join some nomads.

Sounds like my version of hell. I want to be left alone to do the things I like, my way.

If I had to eat Franks idea of spaghetti every second week, or deal with old Beatrice telling me I missed a spot on the window ledge where a mote of dust had landed, I’d kill myself right there on the spot.

I’m fine with community, but I don’t want it forced into my personal space.
