"The Protectors" and Their Momentum

[Eric1600]

I think one of the biggest problems is similar to what happens to communes when the population starts to mature: no resale value. You get a spot of land, work it, build on it, put your life into it, and then you have to walk away from it. Some communes (and HHL) allow for private sales to people who "fit" but for HHL there's no way to easily keep it in the family. But those market restrictions and lack of inheritance make long term prospects much less attractive.
