My partner and I lived in New Zealand for 6 years before moving back to the states. While living there I learned about Kotare Village and thought it was a lovely idea. It even inspired me to obtain a free horticulture degree. This type of lifestyle seems to be great for the environment, people's health and wellbeing and wonder if we have anything like this here in the states? It could be the answer to a lot of our problems.
Here's a link to Kotare Village:
