Updated Planned Community Designs, Models, and Investment Goals

 

In order to encourage communities to become totally self sufficient locally, I have designed a model modern day community which has 10 to 20 neighborhoods, which share a cooperative grocery store, mall and farmer's market, a private school with a Council of Elders to manage the community affairs,  a private bank, and a private shared farmland.   The shared farmlands managed and worked by the community as a whole grow wheat, corn, kidney beans, soybeans, tree fruits, nuts, vegetables, sugar cane, hemp, silk, and cotton, and have dairy cows, to be made into bread, cheese, milk, fruit, vegetable, and soy, and clothing products to be sold at the community market.   Corn, and sugar cane may be used to produce sugarized water or diesel about 120 gallons per 36 bushels which is enouph to provide gas for a year for about 10 families per acre of corn.  Hemp, cotton, and silk may be used for clothing, rope, and other materials.   Farms may use crop rotation with grass planted for feeding livestock like sheep to fertilize the rotated crops.   Windmills may be used to airiate the land and waters.  A indoor hydroponic farm may also be placed on the farmlands to grow foods in the winter and foods that do not grow well in the local climate.  The 10 to 20 neighborhoods also invest in and encourage their members to buy from local businesses that buy and sell products primarily from American and European cultures or the culture of their community preference.   10 to 20 neighborhoods generate close to 50 to 100 million dollars per year in income, and if much of the income is reinvested into the local shared community food, entertainment, and businesses products, rather than being given to national and global corporations, then the community will prosper.  If the neighborhoods, require that their members buy at least 30 percent of their groceries and products from the neighborhood owned co-op food stores and invest in their local neighborhood farms, businesses and properties to maintain them at all times, then the neighborhoods, should be self sufficient at all times, and  the members may yet buy goods from national and international stores to save on discounts offered from mass production to get the best of both worlds.  

Each of the 10 to 20 neighborhoods, which consists of at least 100 residences per neighborhood, has its own local shared solar, hydrogen, and wind energy farm, water pond, rain water collector and well, community center, and indoor and outdoor hydroponic gardens.  The community center, provides entertainment, exercise facilities, child and elderly care, an emergency relief center, fall out shelter, security services, and houses the neighborhood council of elders meeting room.  The neighborhood residences are leased to each member of the community and owned by the neighborhood as a whole in a trust to preserve the neighborhood preferred culture.  The 10 to 20 neighborhoods also share their investments and goals in the larger collective community schools, grocery store, farmland, and Council of Elders by means of a trust.  Neighborhood trusts may also network, and share investments with more distant neighborhoods in other parts of town, in other towns and nations to pool their resources to become more self sufficient.

Each neighborhood is engineered to be made for a preferred culture and architecture, from which there are several architectural house types that may be chosen.  The neighborhoods are gated for security and require a neighborhood I.D. card to enter the community.

Small blimps may be used to hold solar panels and wind mills to improve the wind and solar energy efficiency, until the new improved solar panels are developed which collect more of the solar spectrum. The farms may be shielded by force fields to warm them in the winter and block out snow so that the crops may grow in the winter time.   The force fields powered by solar energy around a 1 mile by 1 mile piece of farm land my be placed over it by using poles, energy radiators and fiber optic wires placed in a cubical format above and below the ground to generate a cubical energy force field to create a local temperature 10 to 30 degrees warmer in the winter time.   The same cubical wire force fields powered by solar can be placed around the neighborhoods to generate a privacy and health force field to filter out harmful and undesirable energies.   Each residence will also have its own perimeter remote sensor to detect trespassers for security reasons.    

In order to allow each residence to collect its own water locally, from rain water, well, and air, each residence will use waterless and reduced water toilets, sink and shower water filters that store and allow the filtered water to be re-used in the shower and sink, and all sewage will be collected into a in home sewage and garbage compressor and/or incinerator to allow the sewage to be placed into a compost or garbage collection area near the home by hand so that water need not be used to process sewage, to save on water. Each residence and the local neighborhood will have its own underground rain water collection cistern, and air to water processors to collect water from the air.  The collected and filtered re-used water may be processed by a reversible hydrogen from water back to water energy device which uses the water to collect energy and at the same time purifies the water to be safe for use.  All residences will have back up hand operated devices to be used to provide heat, energy, and water such as efficient fireplaces,  hand crank electrical devices for lighting and radio, and hand pumps for water in case of an emergency when the local energy production devices may not work or be low on energy.   Water run off in the roadways will be filtered and channeled to a neighborhood man made stream, pond, and filtered emergency back up water storage cistern.  On each side of the street in the neighborhood there should be one main underground well, hand pump, and back up storage underground water cistern which should be connected to the mini-water cistern's at each house on the street by means of pipes and pumps.  Since no sewage pipes are needed, small communications and electrical wiring conduits, and water pipes to connect the neighborhood cisterns together and water run off pipes with filters from the streets to the cistern, stream and pond, can be placed under the cobble stone streets.   Each neighborhood will also have its own garbage dump with garbage collection, and recycling center for metals, plastics, paper, oils and toxins.  Gases produced from the garbage dump may also be used to produce electricity.  Algae may be used in ponds to combine with sunlight to create hydrogen from the water to be used to combine with oxygen to create electricity and clean water.  To handle air pollution problems some of the homes may have the option to be designed to be air tight with all of the air filtered, ionized, and freshened to feel natural; and the homes may use double doors much like a submarines to filter out outside air not yet filtered while entering the home.  The security scalar wave force fields set up around the neighborhood and around homes can be used to filter our polluted air but until these force fields get set up and are proven to work, the above air filtered homes may be an alternative.   Several neighborhoods may also share security, police, and militia resources, a locally trained security and militia force, which may include and utilize a remote sensing, communications, and projective scalar wave force field airship or saucer, security anti-tank helicopters and mini-drone remote control airships, anti-tank and anti-missile electronic scalar wave beam weapons and force fields, and ionic scalar wave force field electric fences that may be placed around the neighborhoods in emergencies to protect the neighborhoods from land, air, and space based attacks locally, until the contracted private military, security, and mercenary forces may arrive to protect the neighborhoods in cases where national and state governments may not protect or be to late in protecting local neighborhoods. Force field shielded underground bunkers may also be provided to house the militia, and security forces monitoring the neighborhood 24 house a day, and to provide shelter for local citizens in emergencies.

The engineered and planned neighborhoods are designed to incorporate peaceful space age, folk traditions and social customs into the architecture of each neighborhood, so that the architecture itself locally maintains and continually re-educates new members in the social customs and order of the community.   Since the communities are self sufficient and governed locally at the neighborhood level they contain all of the basic elements of society needed to sustain themselves.  The shared community social , educational, governmental, and religious centers should be organized to encourage new space age religious and social traditions which promote modern space age principles of equality, basic rights, peace, and justice and also preserve the beaty of folk cultures which have been modernized to be in harmony with space age cultures.   The social center should provide community counselors and advisors which are obligated to keep all consultations private and which may not be used in court or for medical reasons.   The community counselors should be contacted to resolve family and legal matters before they are presented to the local justice of the peace or social services, and lastly to the local police and court system to act as a buffer to resolve social and legal matters locally out of court and out of government and privately as much as possible.   Many serious and irreversible social problems are caused by family members calling the local police when they should first call a counselor or justice of the peace first to resolve the matter out of court and out of governmental control.  Family social matters are a very complex and private affair, which should be kept as private and local as possible, so that counselors and community members should only recommend and consult each other in person, openly and not secretly to avoid suspicion, cautiously, and with full honesty, since few have the wisdom to direct the lives of even the most humble and simple of persons and families.    If community members follow the new social and shared community principles that I have outlined above, then not only will the communities become self sustainable and safe locally, but they will prosper, and live much more happier and private lives free from the injustices and misunderstandings that often occurs at higher and more global levels in government and society.

Neighborhoods and towns should set up strict zones and quotas per zone as to the number of club members per preferred culture that may reside in each zone to maintain the preferred cultures over time.  Zones may be set up for the following cultures:  Preferred predominant folk cultural zones (95%) and minority folk cultural zones (5%), elderly zones, youth zones, estate zones, apartment zones, quite zones, highly secure zones, scholarly zones, segregated zones to preserve cultural base, integrated zones in zones between cultures and zones to share culture, local business zones  (70 %), international out of town businesses zones (30%).  Zoning towns and neighborhoods preserves preferred cultures peacefully and quietly.

Plans  to build a [ Folk Town & University Update ,   Folk University & Town Draft ] may also be considered for small folk towns which want to attract students to the town to teach them the basic folk arts, folk cultures and self sustaining space age and folk architectures and technologies utilized and preferred in the folk towns.  

The community, neighborhoods, and other towns should require that only electric, solar, and air powered cars, hovercraft buses and cars, and modernized electric old fashioned cars, small electric transportation carts, bikes, horses and buggies, may be used to reduce noise and air pollution, and to preserve the folk atmosphere.  All members of the folk town and university may have free transportation credits on the electric busses, electric hovercraft busses, and neighborhood shuttle van and bus.

Radio wave and broadcast energy and communications should be filtered out by means of force fields when possible.  All communications and energy transfers should be done by fiber optical wires to communicated by laser enegy, and to use the fiber optics to carry energy in the form of one wire cold neutrino energy which conducts along the outside of the fiber optic cable until it reaches a tesla coil and capcitor to materialize it back into normal magnetic electrical energy that may be used at a standard plug outlet.  The neutrino to electrical energy converter and materialize may be placed at each wall outlet or in each residence.  The fiber optic cables should be connected to energy farms which collect solar, cosmic and neutrino energies deep underground, from underground water storage tanks or high up in the sky on towers or in blimps or balloons, so as to not take in the natural solar, cosmic, and neutrino energies needed by the local plant life.   Each residence may also be built with a underground water storage tank located about 20 feet underground or under the basement next to a fall out shelter and storage room to collect rainwater for water needs, and deep underground neutrinos for power needs.   Residential water may also be used with an in home battery and electrolizer to produce hydrogen to be used to create power from water.  

All of the residents and outdoor parks, and forests, should have fire detectors and countermeasures such as sprinkler systems.  The local forests and parks may also have counter mosquito devices such as bug zappers, and garlic sprayed on the lawns, in the forests, and in the nearby water ponds.

Communities should also have their own waste and metal recycling centers.

In order to get the above community started, around 20 million dollars may need to be invested in the first 10 neighborhoods.  A piece of land 5 miles by 5 miles could be purchased and one neighborhood could be built as an investment model for 2 to 5 million, and then the rest of the 10 to 20 neighborhoods, school, and grocery store could be started at a later date.

Sample plans of the above are posted below:

The secure community type II model is as follows:

A typical town of 100, 000 persons would have close to 50 minitowns as shown above.  For every 10 minitowns above, we can also have 1 inter-town between minitowns, which has zones for local businesses and stores, and national and international businesses and stores.  We may also have 1 neighborhood in every 10 to 100 minitowns to act as an emergency and homeless shelter.  We may also have 1 region per 10 minitowns, which has independent estates, cottages, and farms, for persons who do not want to be members of a minitown.   There should be 10 to 100 security, police, and militia representatives from each minitown protecting and monitoring the safety of the town 24 hours a day, to keep it secure from global and local threats.   I estimate that with 10 billion dollars invested, 100 million people or half the people in the USA, could be living in self sustaining minitowns as listed above, within 10 to 50 years.  We only need a few million dollars to build the first minitown, and when once built and filled with members, we may use the profits to build the next  minitown and so on.    The amount of money that the US government gives out as financial aid to poor third world countries, which is around 10 billion dollars, each year could be used to make the USA a paradise for 100 million USA citizens.

Each minitown is considered a club, commune, and trust, which reserves the right to select its members, that may benefit from the club by residing on and using the properties of the club.

Some additional folk town plans are posted at the end of the article posted at the following link [Secure Gated Community Plans and Designs ]

Proposed  additions and updates to proposed folk town :

Comments to proposals above:

1. The town communities are for the most part shared community trusts which own and

lease the land of the trusts communities to each member, and which are a compromise

between private ownership, and shared non-ownership communities.  The self-sustaining

shared community trusts ensures that a local community as a whole owns the trust but

none of its members, so that trusts may be built and invested in locally to encourage a

local culture to counter global, state, and nationalistic social trends which share resources

for a preferred elite or global culture only.  

Each shared community trusts has a local community center in each neighborhood of

about 200 families, which shares and provides day and elderly care, schooling, fall out and

emergency shelters, low cost housing, food, clothing, energy, security, and entertainment

resources.  The community center and other shared community resources such as farms,

co-ops, and security, represents once again a compromise that offers the best of both

worlds between socialism without and with the family unit, since any family may choose to

use or not use the community center, so that all members may have both a family and non-

family status to sustain them at all times.  

It is the opinion of this architect, that the family unit is far more reliable, rich in culture,

and powerful than any state, or national government, despite national socialists and

communists claiming otherwise.  Without the family unit, and romantic individualism often

the one-size fits all life of the socialists may become very boring, robotic, to centralized

and controllable by the few, and meaningless.  In any case the above compromise allows

each community member to choose whether to give up the family unit or not, and yet

provides all the advantages of socialism and shared communities locally for both families

and non-families, plus much more.  The folk town community offers mini-experimental

communities for members such as those proposed in Walden II, by B.F. Skinner, which

encourage more or extreme ranges of complete socialism so that members may experience

such communities if they desire.

The governing structure of the trust communities are a board of directors of the trusts

who direct managers to govern and manage community staff workers, security guards,

teachers, scientists, and trade guilds.  

The town and community trusts all use a labor-credit system which is adjustable based on

demand whereby one hour of work may equal one credit or more dependent on the job

and product demand.  For instance, sewer workers may receive 2 credits for one hour or

job of work, while other more desirable jobs may only receive one credit per hour or job.

 All community members receive a basic allowance of credits per month, and may earn

more credits per job work. Most community members are required to work a minimum of

2 to 4 hours per day for both community shared work and extra credit work.

Since 50 percent of the town communities are self sustaining shared trusts, then half of the

town community should be able to sustain the other half in times of emergencies, and the

other half of the town which is not shared or sustained allows for members to choose

between a range of extremely and less shared and self-sustained communities.  The

education system of the town instructs all members of the community in all leading

operations of the community and give a basic outline of human knowledge to all members

of the community by age 12.   The town communities are socially and architecturally

engineered to eliminate crime, and do not need jails, and prisons nor label any person as a

criminal, but rather simply reduce community privileges privately per community ruling

and contract - please see [ Community Statutes and Codes ].   The community provides an adult entertainment zone, which

offers legalize and safe narcotics, gambling and prostitution, so that the rest of the

community zones are free from such activities.  The gambling centers only allow members

to gamble as small percentage of their extra earned credits.
