I would love to, and when I buy a house sometime in the future that is a major consideration for me. Unfortunately, right now I have to live where I can afford to. I have had to move almost every year since graduating college and have never been able to take that into consideration due to finances. Even now, hubby and I will likely be given his parents' current house that is much further away from our friends, and we are taking the opportunity because we can't afford not to.
The dream would be to get the closest group together to buy land (or take them with to the family home if there's space), to build a community together.
Do these dreams require remote work? When we bought a house, proximity to public transportation and centers of employment were large considerations. How can that be resolved if some people working in "the big city" while others work remotely and others work in an exurban location?
ideally you would be able to do urban communes. if you can build your dwelling you can have a green roof
