The LoT Commune

[Stan4dSteph]

I think this would be perfect for the commune: The Claw (http://www.panthermanagement.com/theclaw/).

[BarTopDancer]

We were sitting next to a girl of about 7 or 8 who was discussing The Claw in great detail. MickeyD and I just wanted to know where the Toy Story aliens were.

[Morrigoon]

I propose the property at 4053 Woking Way (http://waltdisneylahome.com/) (Walt Disney's former residence, which is currently up for sale)

[lashbear]

I don't believe that was his... there's not ONE hidden mickey ! :p

[Morrigoon]

You didn't see it? Look harder :P

(hint: the 24th picture)

[Kevy Baby]

(hint: the 24th picture)That's not a hidden Mickey in the traditional sense.

And Smirnoff vodka? Something tells me that Walt wouldn't be drinking Smirnoff

[JWBear]

Something tells me that Walt wouldn't be drinking Smirnoff

Something tells me that isn't Walt's vodka.

[Alex]

Something tells me that Walt hasn't live there for at least a little while.

Hey, we could raise the $3,600,000 between us. If we divide it between 400 LoTers, it's only $9,000 each.

For caretaker, I propose my humble self.

[Moonliner]

If good fences make good neighbors, then this commune is looking better and better. Plus it's not far from my Aunt's house so I'd have family close by. Dodgers games would be easy to get to as well

37 miles down the 5 to DLR however. I suppose traffic was lighter back in the day.

[Alex]

Is that a fence or a retaining wall?

[JWBear]

Looks like a retaining wall to me. Either way, it's just slightly less ugly than the house it belongs to.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I suppose traffic was lighter back in the day.I don't know. When the house was built, it took 23 years to drive to Disneyland.

[Moonliner]

I don't know. When the house was built, it took 23 years to drive to Disneyland.

Geeze, and you guys go all ape**** when they close one little freeway for a weekend. You've gone soft.

[Chernabog]

You didn't see it? Look harder :P

(hint: the 24th picture)

At first I thought you meant Walt's cigar burns on the wall (if you squint) but then I looked down. :blush:

[Ghoulish Delight]

Decommissioned ICBM silo anyone? (http://www.coldwarmissilesilo.com/)

[Kevy Baby]

Your link didn't work for me, but I did find this (http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2009/04/gallery_missile_base_1?currentPage=all)

ETA: Hmm... now your link works

[Kevy Baby]

How about this place (http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/last-minute-shopping-try-an-opulent-island-paradise.html)?

[Alex]

If the LoT Commune has to exist in just 5000 total square feet (2500 indoors) with difficult escape I predict the two month anniversary will include a murder mystery.

[RStar]

That place looks awesome. Until the oceans rise from the melting polor ice caps. It's been there since 1985, so it must have survived a huricane or two passing by....

[Betty]

I literally LOL'd.

But first we need a tontine

[Alex]

I offered, but got no serious bites.

LoT Commune: Battle Royale

It'll be a hit in Japan.

I'm a lover - not a fighter.

[JWBear]

I'm a lover - not a fighter.

There's a market for that too. We can put Kevy in charge of it.

[Snowflake]

Abadoned Village in France available for 400,000€

Perfect for the LoT COmmune, I'll pitch in!

Story Here (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sale-deserted-french-village-pool-112542411.html)

[cirquelover]

I saw that on our local news and thought of the LoT commune too, how funny!

It's a whole village, imagine the possibilities!

[Snowflake]

And there is a pool!

[Capt Jack]

huh...and here I was thinking it'd be great for a paintball tourney

/shrug

[Alex]

That's only $530,000 or so. I'd be willing to buy a share in that even if I'm not willing to move in with you all. But if you'd promise to keep a cot set up for drive by visits.

[Betty]

Let's go!

[Ghoulish Delight]

That's only $530,000 or so. I'd be willing to buy a share in that even if I'm not willing to move in with you all. But if you'd promise to keep a cot set up for drive by visits.
Should we keep the ground underneath it clear for you to sleep on?

[Snowflake]

Actually, I was wrong, even more of a bargain, 300,000€

[lashbear]

I would TOTALLY be in that.

No bathrooms? Deal breaker!

[CoasterMatt]

I can provide the light show.

[Betty]

I was thinking something a little more rural - but I'd be willing to compromise to keep the peace.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Hmm, Georgia? (http://attractionsmagazine.com/blog/2012/10/03/the-ultimate-haunted-mansion-collectable-disneyland-haunted-mansion-look-alike-home-for-sale/)

[Strangler Lewis]

Ge-or-or-or-gia.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Is it missing the cupola?

[Kevy Baby]

Why would you want a cup of Los Angeles?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Hurt is selling the home because he has moved on to an even more ambitious project but hasn’t stopped designing and building unique Disney inspired buildings. Mark is working on his current project of a resort themed house modeled after Disney’s Grand Californian along with a replica of Walt Disney’s backyard barn and a pool that will be themed to the Jungle Cruise in Kaua‘i Hawaii. Based on the Grand Cal? Kind of a weak follow up, don't you think? I mean, just make a Craftsman if that's what you want. Walt's Barn, Jungle Cruise, now we're talking. (btw it took me many times reading the sentence to realize they weren't referring to a Jungle Cruise attraction that exists in Hawaii. That blog post has some grammar issues.)

[innerSpaceman]

Coaster Matt turned me on to this gem (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2288168/Its-world-Bob-Hopes-space-age-Palm-Springs-home-goes-market-50m.html) today. Bob Hope's fantastically mid-century uber-modern spaceship in the mountains above Palm Springs. It's on the market. All we need is a cool $50 million and its OURS! :D


:cheers: Views over the Coachella Valley - someplace wonderful to stay for the annual music festival. Other than that, I'm not too fond of the location, but you have to admit - if you look at the photos - the home can hardly be be beat!

[€uroMeinke]

I'd live there

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I'll kick in a few bucks, that's a cool casa!

[Snowflake]

I'd love to live there, too. Of course, the place in the UK has so much potential, too.

[Kevy Baby]

I think we can learn a lot from this (http://la.curbed.com/archives/2013/05/the_respectable_la_houses_of_1970s_hippie_cult_the _source.php)

[Alex]

Are you sure? It looks like that lifestyle means no men and half the women need be pregnant and if you wear an orange dress you have to point your breasts way off to the side.

[alphabassettgrrl]

More work to get pregnant with no men around.

[blueerica]

I am acquainted with someone who's run off to do this... (http://directory.ic.org/34/Alpha_Farm)

[Alex]

A fellow student from grad school dumped everything almost two years ago and began a tour journey around the country to visit and spend time in various intentional communities. The intent is to write a book but when she's with a group she tries to live with them in their way.

It's been pretty interesting. Blog posts are somewhat sparse but that's the way it should be when you're busy living, there's time to write later. If you're interested, you can find it here:

[Alex]

Yeah, but if pointing our breasts to the side isn't what we're going to learn, what is the point?

[Kevy Baby]

The nipples

With unemplyment being so high, I bet crime is pretty bad as well. But wouldn't that be a great way to retire?

Nice kitchen (http://life.viralnova.com/kitsch-in-kitchen-its-a-pun-get-it/#.VGoDYemFq8o.facebook)

[alphabassettgrrl]

Cool! My grandma's stove had the push-buttons on it. Actually, the stove is probably still in the house; the way it's set up, there are clearance problems with putting in a new stove/oven.

[Kevy Baby]

[Despite it being owned, no one had ever lived there [for 50+ years] (due to personal reasons, which were not disclosed)...Okay, I REALLY want to know these details!

[RStar]

Okay, I REALLY want to know these details!

So do I! Who buys a house and doesn't live in it or sell it for 50 years? And was it cleaned on a regular basis so that things didn't just rot away from lack of care?
