If a friend of yours were to set up a community, would you join in? Or are we too obsessed with our privacy?
lets consider a situation where several families/singles/mixed join into a small community.
they can share chores, run a common budget (each keeping his private share, of course), maybe rent one big house for all, share babysitting, utility costs, whatever. Could even have some degree of sexual freedom within community if they must.
There'd be obvoius advantages, e.g. in case one of them is temporarily out of employment, the ship won't sink as it may b the case with a nuclear family
Of course it would only work within a homogeneous social group, otherwise they'd end up like old EU, strong members lose on it while benefits of the weak ones are arguable.
And the community would have to be comparatively small, say, up to 5 families.
Would you chance it, providing you know the participants well? Or would you deem it unviable?
Privacy vs unity! Which one wins?
