That “entire community” lived at one address. This wasn’t multiple family homes, it was a cultist compound.

With this mis-informed comment, you JRochelle have zero credibilty on this subject. There are multiple single family homes on this RANCH. All built by the blood and sweat of these people.
Save your lies for the easily fooled.
Yes it was, just as much as any appartment complex. There were some buildings that housed a single family, others that where duplexes, but the majority lived in separate residences within several large buildings, like small to medium apartment buildings. When I was born, my parents lived in an apartment in the same building, with the same address, as the five and dime (Ben Franklins if anybody cares), and a couple of other apartments as well. But no way did we live in the five and dime or with whoever occuppied those other apartments. Similarly my grandmother lived above the post office, along a whole bunch of other people, in the building that contained a funeral parlor, a car repair shop, and at one time a bank. I've been in the vault, most of the building is now a second hand furniture and furnishings business, except for those apartments above, and I wouldn't be too suprised to find families still living in them, although I'll have to check later this summer when I'm up there. Did grandma live at the funeral parlor? She did end up there though, at a pretty young age, younger than I am now.
