What about local council rules?
Biggest problem with creating new eco communities within existing countries is that local bylaws often prohibit what you want to do.
You need to control the local government or have one that it very laisse faire if you want to succeed.

its very easy where we are.. there are already earthships there, but also the local government REALLY want to bring in eco building and young fresh blood! Since were in such a rual area it also makes things much easier than building in a city... looks like that will be a real non issue ;-)
Good to hear. My brother has always sought out these sorts of communities but run into local government problems.
yes.. its often a big issue.. location really does make the difference when you build this way..
what makes this approach so powerful is that once we have gotten through all the hoops and hurdles were going to be able to make it SO easy to help others do the same.. We also intend to forge close and positive relationships with the Penamacor municipality.. they are already VERY welcoming to international people...
