I recently taught a PDC (permaculture design course) class on Land Tenure and the book we used as a guide for the class suggested a community have at least 80% common ownership and the rest be for tiny homes and co-housing type arrangements. After having recently read all 10 of the RCS, I realized this is backwards and that there should be less than 20% common area. I told the class this and also recommended we change the aim of our permaculture organization that put on the PDC to promoting minimum hectare properties for households instead of promoting eco-villages, which they agreed.
Each couple able to bear children needs AT LEAST one hectare. That is the MINIMUM that Anastasia recommends. She mentions 5 acres a couple of times, so I think there is some ideal around that size that will allow for possible future division for a child’s hectare with their spouse. I also think that the extra land will be useful to trade and barter surplus produce.
In my experience, many older people who feel past their childbearing years do not even dare to wish for land of this size. It’s best for us to encourage younger people, even up into “middle age”, to read the RCS and work on finding their land to create a Space of Love.
