How do you feel about a community that does not allow wifi within the village (and there is no mobile internet due to it being exceptionally rural)? Instead, there would be a building specifically for internet use at the edge of the village, and maybe landlines for telephone usage.

I like the idea of being entirely disconnected from all things digital, people interacting instead of staring at cellphones, but curious if I am alone in this?

I am still in deep research phase for an IC. I noticed there seems to be a variety of different models, but I’m curious about the share buy in that some offer.

So, a new member buys shares in the community, thus becoming a co-owner, and this gives them occupancy rights to a community home. This sounds great in principle, but how do members finance something like that? As there’s no mortgage available for something like this. Does it make it harder to find new members?

I’d imagine some people would be nervous to invest in this manner, especially if they need a community share buy out to leave/get their money back, or rely on the community finding a new member to replace them. If a community goes down hill, shares could become worthless or impossible to sell.
