When the writers and photographers visited, there was still little truth about the COVID source, nor about the deadly consequences of accepting the vaccine. They thought I was a conspiracy theorist.

Guess I am, but most of the stories I have followed for decades have turned out to be true, from JFK, Twin Towers, RFK, and many more Black Flag operations that have been pulled off against the American citizens and taxpayers. As a veteran of the Vietnam era, when a war was started with lies that cost America tens of thousands of lives for nothing in the end. Trust the government: Agent Orange, 2-4D, glyphosate, or Roundup were not problems dyed Orange. What is going on when the government wants immunity for such poisons that last for generations, deforming and killing with cancer? What a start… conspiracy stories?
No worries, that is not where this story goes, but instead to what I tried to do to change the world and failed miserably. Here is a book that seems to identify what went wrong with my plan, while also pointing out that there does need to be a plan ahead for the housing problems facing lower-middle-income Americans. While I failed to create a community, I did prove it was possible to create the homes, land, and means for more people to find peaceful settings in the country, where you might be able to raise a family in the homesteading tradition that is growing as people bail out of city life. Is it being a rebel to want to get away from the city and the global problems?
Guess which one I am supposed to represent? They say there are five paths you can take to find your possible bliss in a tiny home, possibly even a community designed around the oddities.
Well, my decades of trying to produce toxin- and import-free, sustainable housing have gotten me both notoriety and critics galore, but I still believe in the ethos of what I have proven is possible: affordable, quality housing for Americans. While that demonstration was successful and helped others find a path to a tiny or bigger home free of toxins and imports, it did not solve the housing issue for many people.
The problem became how to finance them and where to put them so that the codes did not prevent them from going to rest for a lifetime or two. The issues with transporting entire houses larger than a travel trailer were a problem, too, leading to the concept of creating Pure Salvage Outposts for communities to grow houses locally and save on labor costs to build them, only to spend those same funds again to move the houses once finished. Better to build closer to the site they will stay at for a few decades, but be able to be ported away from if the land value exceeds, so it’s too good to cash out and save your home.
This is an interesting perspective based on their few weeks in America, and visiting an autistic oddity like me for comparison was certainly an entertaining path to create a story some of you may enjoy about Americans downsizing to tiny homes. It asked, and sort of answered, whether communities will be possible or just more subdivisions of smaller, compacted homes for the lower middle class to call neighborhoods.
I guess I forgot to tell them I am high-spectrum autistic, ADHD, and CHA (Creatively Hyper-Active). Likewise, I think I was twice the age of any of the kids who came from England to interview me for a video and book. It was fun, but I think they missed some of my humor and took it seriously.
I was pictured during one of my clean-shaven periods, so I do not look nearly as crazy as Darby did with his beards in the past. So it goes, all pespectives are relative… and compared to the English, I must seem odd.
I hope, if you like books and reading about this dilemma in America, that it could be solved with communities focused on tinier housing, but it will be hard to sell it with the corporations having the airways and means to see their products faster, with financing, and spaces to put them for a decade or two.
