In preparing to move to Palo Alto, I found this photo from my days at Arcosanti, an experimental city in the desert of Arizona. For multiple periods in the late 1980’s and again in the mid 1990’s, I spent time at Arcosanti, usually helping with menial construction labor. I continue to respect many of the ideals supported, including frugality, habitat conservation, energy self-sufficiency, and intelligent urban design.

I would be very curious to learn more about your project to build an Arcosanti type utopia. I too live in the bay area and would be very happy to contribute to the expirement.
Please visit the web site for additional ideas on Arcosanti type lifestyle. My concept is a European Village. http://www.bankcresolutions.com/eurovillages/
