Same here, and that lady gives me the heebie-jeebies, and the way she speaks gives me cult vibes. I don't get the point of this either, it's just reinventing a village, only more cramped. Seems like she just used her political connections and this eco branding to "raise money" for her own house

She looks and sounds like Noam Chomsky. It's like watching a clip from a parallel universe where he's a woman and more "hands-on" than academic.

The woman showed her hand early on when she "flexed" to tell us that the solar panels were installed on the commons building 20 years ago.

I was hoping she would be without ego, cast off any elitist appearances but as I say I saw cracks.

I still like the idea though.

I see myself as the curmudgeonly old man that doesn't greet anyone, or at least the village idiot.
