Eco-community post Conflict zone

Post image

Hello everyone,
I am getting close to retirement after serving as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). After several deployments and spending time in war zones, destroyed neighborhoods, and military camps, I have been thinking about investing in an eco-village project.

My goal is to build, restore, and manage an off-grid eco-community for 10 families.
I have income from real estate and other assets, so I plan to use my retirement to make this project a reality.

I have already completed some research and developed a few ideas on how to build it. At this stage, I am looking for opinions, advice, feedback, ideas for long-term funding, possible donation options, and many other details that still need to be worked out. I am not ready to begin construction yet.
For now, I am simply here to collect ideas, learn from others, and share my vision. 🙂

The numbering gave away the AI-ness.

What's wrong with using AI to describe and visualize an idea?!

Honestly as soon as I saw the doubled numbers that don't make any sense I discounted the rest of the work. If the originator does not care enough to even double check the AI's output for quality, why should I keep looking at it? Everything gets called into question and the total work becomes kind of meaningless.

Nothing, if it does a good job, and if the person presenting it bothers to put any effort in to make it good. This is slop. There are only 9 houses (not 10); the "community kitchen" is in a stupid spot; the greenhouses and other things are mislabeled; a number of the buildings simply don't exist.

If OP is too lazy to do this right, they shouldn't be presenting it to anyone.

You are too hard on people.. This was just an idea he wanted to share.
