Dream House

Write about your dream home.

First of all I want something big: a compound, or a villa, or a castle. I want people who love me to live in my castle with me. I want it to have all the amenities. Electricity, plumbing, indoor air, WiFi, a library, a game room, carpets in the main areas I live. I would allow my fellow inhabitants decorate their areas as they see fit. I’d like for everyone to be willing to keep it clean and safe. I’d like at least three of my fellows to drive and two to be sufficiently handy to make paying for upkeep less necessary. It would be great if one of them enjoyed cooking and one liked sewing. Everyone should be able to write down their needs and read the needs of others. The castle would train people to do that as part of the experience. Everyone would be expected to work barring severe disability. We would be dedicated to rooting out ignorance, selfishness, and pride among ourselves. Entry would be voluntary and personal property would be respected. If a person felt the desire to leave I would counsel them as to whether they will or won’t be better off in the wider world. We would teach correct principles and let our fellows govern themselves.
