There are carports out on one side of the houses and everyone parks their cars and walks to ther houses-there are garden carts to use if there are many items to transport from the car to the house but this way you are forced to interact wth your neighbors and those in your community-much unlike the standard way of drive your car into your garage, close the door and go inside without even seeing anyone. Things that are shared in the community in addition to meals: a common house with a commercial size kitchen, two guest rooms, a workout room and a reading library with a piano; an outdoor hot tub-clothing optional between evening hours; a yurt that can be used for outings, meetings or just hanging out; a tennis court; a green house with lots of things growing in it; and a wonderful play structure (you can see the video of the play structure). We have found two ranches where we have begun to source some of our food: La Boca Ranch (http://www.laboca.us/history/history9.html) (raw goats milk) and James Ranch (www.jamesranch.net/) (raw cow milk, cheese, beef and pork).
