There’s a New Commune in the Desert, and One Person Already Needed to Be Sent to the Hospital

Every few years, someone gets the bright idea to build their own, new society in the desert. This typically ends with them starting a cult or leaving a few weeks later, if they don’t die of dehydration first.

The latest of these imagined communes is called Rebuilding Atlantis, which is a hilarious name to give your town that lacks proper water access. There only seem to be a few followers so far, but they’ve managed to set up some trailers already so that’s gotta count for something, I suppose.

I guess your next question is, understandably, “How are things going?”

The answer appears to be not great. One woman has already had to go to the hospital, and it appears that the rest of the town’s construction mainly consists of a pitiful garden. But hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and if you want to live there, the founder claims that doing so is free!
