To me its a really powerful idea: What is an ideology lead to in isolation? Of and in itself? In a sustainable setting? Does it work? My bias is that it wouldn't: A planned community is anathema to the very concepts of libertarianism. When I go into areas with the most unplanned zoning and liberty, what I see is mobile homes turned this way and that on desert lots, with broken down cars and other junk in front. Its not pretty, but its nobody's business in those areas to tell them to clean it up.

That's why I think these would make for such an incredible reality TV show, a real lab exploring the ideas of liberty as they intersect with community.

Plus I just think sustainable communities are cool. I want a left wing version, growing pot plants and food, with concrete houses too. (I dream of a concrete home) I'd be all in. That would be a good reality TV too, especially on at the same time as the conservative one. Lets see what everybody's ideas lead to of and in themselves.
