Mustachian compound – co-housing in Colorado

[the_fixer]

Located about 45 mins east of Longmont

Situated on 22.5 acres of land, offers more than 60,000 square feet of indoor space and more than 300,000 feet of outdoor space. It houses enough playing fields to host a mini-Olympics, regulation-size basketball and volleyball courts. Outside are a regulation-sized soccer field, baseball field, football field, and a quarter-mile asphalt track. Oh, and there’s a computer lab, indoor gym, and pool.

Designed to house 272 people

Guessing we could pick it up cheap :)

And at a steal of a price of $1,200,000, that's only $4412 each to live in prison-like conditions indefinitely!  Can't beat that.  Just practice your stoicism.

Not to mention east of Longmont...that's Kansas.

You joke, but a building like this could actually serve as a good start if there were people interested in forming a cohousing arrangement in that location. You'd want to replace the sliding doors on the cells with regular doors, add some carpet, etc., but $20 per square foot seems like much less than it would cost to build something new.

80 people at $15k each. I'd do it.

Commercial kitchen, gym, pool, fields, what's not to like?

The town is likely dead but you can't have everything. Maybe a prison of Mustachians can create a town renaissance of artists. The prison can even rent out rooms cheap for traveling artists and bands.

It would be a cool social experiment to get 100 - 200 mustachian people to go in and turn it into a nice place to live and see if it ends up as utopia or chaos.

It would be really interesting to see what kind of impact it would have on the community.

Brush is a simple / nice little town that is very inexpensive.

Great Hera, I don't even WANT to imagine what a creepy-ass nefarious religious cult full of charismatic psychopaths and brainwashed sister-wives could do with this place.  *shudder* Burn it to the ground and salt the earth.

I'd definitely want to see the comps...

We’re in!

Is there WiFi?

The work-from-home crowd could get up into the 90% savings rate with housing this cheap.

Maybe MMM will buy it for us?

Coming Fall of 2018 on NBC......

90% savings rate hell yeah

 Internet split 100 or 200 ways per month is pretty cheap.

You could buy food by the semi load at a discounted rate.

A dozen Tesla’s in the car pool

I like the way you think

When the zombie apocalypse occurs, a prison is a pretty safe place to be. (unless you're Hershel)

Walking dead themed Air BnB was my second choice :)

100 - 200 freedom-obsessed, mustachians living in a cooperative? I am predicting chaos leading to departures and buyouts starting in week 2 and persisting until only a few live on site and own the entire thing.  This looks more like a reality show than a utopian experiment.

Yeah, there's a general lack of awareness of the various arrangements tried extensively in the 60s to make something like this work.

It turns out, pretty much the only stable situations with a lot of people sharing a roof are either monasteries or family.
