I've never heard of an ecovillage, but just from context it sounds interesting. I've been drafting a bill to submit to my state legislature, and my emphasis has been on non-market housing and housing cooperatives. Basically housing cooperatives are collectively owned apartments, where all the tenants are the collective owners and elect a governing body. There is no profit on residency dues either, making it cheaper

Go! That’s an awesome thing to be doing. We need more diverse options like these. You are doing the right work.
