re: ecovillages and social change
<p>Our Altair EcoVillage project had been stalled due to lack of funds. But a couple of investing households have come forward recently enabling us to start making progress again.</p>
<p>There are complaints about the projected home prices: upwards of $400,000. “How can that be presented as living lightly?”</p>
<p>The home prices are in line with market-rate prices in the area. We wish they could be lower than market-rate … but the unavoidable infrastructure expenses (sanitation, stormwater management, utilities provision, etc.) are about the same whether a project includes 20 homes or 100 homes; when spread out over just 30 homes, as is our intention, the cost of each home has to absorb those expenses.</p>
