Hi Drew, I just saw your post. As a member, you are part of the community which owns the infrastructure (
land, buildings, etc). Myembers have access to the whole property, not just a slice as you mentioned. I think there are some advantages to this: c,ontrol of the land/infrastructure stays with the community; the community helps you build a house (shared resources you may not have: timber, saw mill, kiln for drying lumber, heavy equipment, etc), and at least for me, I know I can't take it with me, so what is the point of ownership. Members must be in good standing to remain in the community (more on that if you are interested. Paul
Ps I would be happy to talk with you more about this if you like.
