Having actually lived in a "community" I can tell that many more things come into play. Experience is the ultimate wisdom. Communal living was a disaster and we had all of the same hopes and expectations as listed in this article.

After having left, I began researching communities. I researched the religious ones, the pagan ones, even the Israeli Kibbutz. One thing they ALL have in common. HIGH TURNOVER.

More research led me to find why these issues exist. I found all kinds of issues. I made two videos on my findings.

Just my experience...do your own research.
