And “only by car”? No helicopter could get there?

“Journalists” are morons.

Obviously they need a green high speed rail system.

Final sentence:

“The original people working there either got frustrated and left, or stayed there and got older and settled into their cozy, Soleri-designed apartments to live a pleasant, hippy-dream life,” James McGirk, a former attendee of an Arcosanti workshop, told Wired.

Sell it to some Dubai sheik, they like stuff like that and think desert climate is normal.

“Non Profit Group”

Why does that sound like a scam, virtually every time I hear it used.

range of environmentally-friendly features [including] natural vegetation to reduce energy costs

Who knew that Italian Cypress trees naturally grew in the Sonoran Desert? Did that evil white man Columbus bring the trees with him?

Shortly after moving to AZ we visited Arcosanti out of a weird curiosity. Aside from being a wasteland they did have some cool wind-chimes for sale (didn’t buy) but hanging outside the staircase to the cafeteria (we chose NOT to eat their food) were multiple strings of gray-to-brown undergarments freshly washed and hanging to dry.

it was disgusting. feral hippies.

“...Cosanti Foundation has been working for decades ...
...The project is reportedly only 5 percent complete.”

I’m going to have to give them a F- for productivity.

Technically the NFL is a nonprofit group. In many cases it just means those at the top get mega-salaries and bonuses to eat up any possible profit.

Because it is a scam in a lot of cases. Leftists have many people convinced that profits are evil; therefore non-profits are good.
