have is good.....they have plenty of space......would be a great place to
plant a forest garden.....their method of building is good in the since that
it is simple to do.....but the materials all come from major industrial
operations....unless you know of a simple way to produce
concrete......beutiful design that is energy effecient and conductive to
spending time with other folks......lots of art going on....they make bells
and bronze statues.....the people were real cool......if you are thinking of
stopping by ...I would definately say yes....blessings
