Separating living space and public space might prove tricksy...

anyone here with any construction skills? Or will we just have tents indoors?

Also I have mad scrounging and trashpicking skills.

I've done construction at this level, non support structure walls.  Pretty simple, frame, sheetrock, smooth and paint.  The one tricksy part is doing the electrical work and not having a building inspector shut the place down later on.  Something that should be looked at is either home renovation rules (IE, is it possible to do it for yourself without a license) and the possibility of getting people on track for licensed electrical/plumbing/general contracting for a given possible area.

Also what cities have mixed zoning where we could live in a factory without having the city harass us more than usual?

yes these regs would be something that local authorities if they took a dislike would use against such a plan.

We could build out of cob.  It's a mixture of clay, hay, water, and sand that can be packed together and dries adobe-like.  I've seen a very sturdy structure built from it at an ecovillage.

And permaclture for the motherfucking win.

WTF is this shit?  Will we have to eat lentils, too?

God I hope not. They're so tasteless.

I vote for Northeastern Native American-style agriculture: corn, beans, squash. Then we can have baked beans, corn on the cob (and other delicious corn-based things), and throw the squash away unless someone knows a few really good squash recipes.

And no goddamn zucchini!

I vote for growing whatever is easiest in the climate and can be turned into alcohol, then selling the booze for grocery money.

TITCM.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

I wonder if anyone would actually buy squash booze...

[Jenne]

Of course they would.

[Cainad (dec.)]

The question is whether or not they'd buy it a second time.

Also, I say scrap all previous ideas and convert the whole planet to Discordianism to make it one giant Discordian commune.

[Requia ☣]

Hell no, I like this religion the way it is  The other monkeys would ruin it.   

[Cainad (dec.)]

No no no, I forgot to mention the second part of the plan:

once Discordianism takes over as the major world religion we all secretly relocate to a different label and become the rebellion against the obnoxious theocracy we created


it'll be fun!

We can call it the No-Discordian Club.

[Cainad (dec.)]

Some people say making Discordianism go mainstream would be a bad thing. I disagree. We could become wealthy and, when we tire of the joke, tear it all down from the inside out. Win-win-mittens-win situation as far as I'm concerned.

[Requia ☣]

That plan will backfire, and not being a really will Discordian will be punishable by death.  I know it.

[Cainad (dec.)]

Even funnier!
