Making Gulch happen

I've always been interested in "utopian" societies and what would make them work. I read "Walden Two" and Skinner had some really great ideas. If i had money to burn I'd buy a bankrupt builders community and tweek it into Walden Two with a resident population that would be working in something high tech, generating capital and creating a new community that would be a fun place to live where there would be the highest standards for ethics and morality as defined by Rand.

    Go to the Atlas Shrugged page 1169 what's next thread. Then type "colonists" into find on your browser to find my response about some conditions on making Atlantis happen. One of the keys is Galt's oath as a requirement for admission.

    Alas, you have left out the smaller cogs that allow the community to survive and thrive. Your basic services as water, food, waste, et cetera are not addressed. You need those skills so the high tech guys can do what they do best.

      He's just on page 1 - a preliminary outline. Every single person who asks this question goes thru a series of steps which are approximately the same. Give it a bit of time to ripen.

      All of those services are already available. The builder already has developed the land to provide water, electricity etc etc. But behind the gated community you have a community that can put into action a life that is so much more richer than the status quo. The properties never hit the outside market so the only residents are the ones invited to live there.
