I loved this.

'How do we finance it?' - that's what we're thinking about at Stroud Commons - https://stroudcommons.org/. We're developing housing commons, care commons (with ideas to allow older people to swap equity for care), energy commons, land commons and climbing commons. Our funding ideas are based around 'use-credit obligations' - https://www.lowimpact.org/categories/use-credit-obligations, and have been adapted by Dil Green of Mutual Credit Services (https://www.mutualcredit.services/) for use in any sector. Dil coincidentally lives in Brixton.

Not sure he'll have much time to chat though - I know he's crazy busy. But if you can get your head around these new commons ideas, they could apply to every sector I think.

Alice is full of brilliant ideas and I hope this one can become a reality.
