They never last because people change and when you get old enough, it becomes impossible to contribute a “fair share” of effort and generally the people who have been there for years didn’t save up enough money to survive outside of the commune.

Community is however a viable option and is much easier to join and leave

Agreed, I think we should focus on having tight communities and from there creating easy (maybe scalable?) ways to engage in cross community skill sharing, resource sharing, and solidarity

I suggest investing in a local library (lending out tools and more), community gardens and establishing fruit/nut trees all around
