This is of course assuming everyone who signs up to this knows how to live by themselves right?

That would be pretty important, yes?

[Footkerchief]

I think I'd sooner live with a random Craigslist person than with a random B12er.

Or willing to learn, right? Fresh-out-of-high-school people don't have much experience there.

I'd be offended, but there's a theoretical possibility you could end up living with me, so I can't really blame you.

Fresh out of high school people may have an adjustment period to go through if they decide to join, and they'd either be really dedicated to working hard or be able to find a decent paying job right quick. I'd recommend at least a year living on your own before even considering this, to be honest.

[Heron TSG]

Eh, I was just thinking out... loud? Doesn't really apply to a forum, I guess.

I'll probably be moving over by Seattle in two years anyway, and it seems that a lot of other people would do it in two years or so as well. I'm just weighing job and housing options, making sure that such a location is possible for my habitation after high school. Planning ahead and such. Yes, I know it's insane to plan based off of the internet and communist ideals. That's why this is only one of many options.

There are better ways to plan? Lies!

Plus, have you seen how I want to organize this? Shares, rent, infrastructure investment, members needs jobs? I'm a dirty capitalist, I just happen to be one who sees the value of communal living arrangements.

[Heron TSG]

Ooh, here's a question for you. Does a member need a job if they pay for themselves without one. For example, scholarships that help pay for non-tuition stuff such as housing and doing work around the commune.

I shall question you until your plan is unquestionably good!

[Kadzar]

I guess you could put me down for a "maybe".

[dragonshardz]

You could put me down for a potential shareholder slot during any time in the next four years or so.

I'm currently living in my parent's house in AZ while they're in WA - taking care of it until it gets put on the market or sold.

[Sowelu]

If you-all end up in Seattle, I'll drop by for tabletop gaming once in a while?

[GlyphGryph]

For example, scholarships that help pay for non-tuition stuff such as housing and doing work around the commune.

That might be workable. You do realize you can both work AND attend school, though, right?

Sowelu, hope to see now and again, then, once I get there. Do you like Settler's? Cause I have every intent of there being a shitton of Settlers. ^_^

I have discovered that despite what appear to be a healthy job market in Seattle, there's also a bit more competition. I have gotten job offers in the Mid-North states that would offer to pay for my relocation, though. I might end up spending a year or two in Wisconsin or something on my way West if the pay is right... We'll see. Still have my heart set on Seattle now.

[Zangi]

Aww hey... I was going to vote for the floating fortress...  it ends up being: "This is stupid."

[mendonca]

This genuinely sounds like something I would get a severe kick out of doing.

I mean, the thought that any morning you could wake up in the fridge divided up in to small labeled tupperware boxes (prepared human pancreas etc.) - that's the stuff that keeps you going!

Unfortunately I don't think my wife would agree. I'm in 'in spirit', but not in reality. Good luck though.
