Retirement Communes: Gathering Friends For The Enjoyment Of Old Age

"Live Almost Anyplace On Earth In An Off-Grid EcoCapsule"


Alan: I "see" retirement communities where good friends pool money to purchase small acreage 

around large "faded mansions" with spacious kitchens and great festive rooms. 

Little "cabins" (400 sq. feet) are sprinkled on the land, the functional equivalent of monk's cells. 

The Big House gathers communards falling temporarily out of orbit "down" to the "home planet."

Want to be alone? 
Stay in your cabin. 

Or do you prefer good talk nourished by yummy food and convivial preparation of same? 
Visit The Big House.

Big-hearted immigrant caretakers (preferably with children) will live "the good life" while keeping things tidy.
