Reading about how people cope after being displaced by a natural disaster felt so different than reading about people voluntarily abandoning their homes to form communes. The latter shuns authority, while the former actively seeks it.

Found Canaan on OpenStreetMap [1], as described in the article. It shows up on satelite images on Google Maps too [2].

Don't confuse authority with organization.
