In the crashing modern real estate market investors, builders, and homeowners bet their personal fortunes & family's futures investing in single-family dwelling & sprawling cul-de-sacs. RE-reading through all the parts of CotF I'm reminded of the core argument for investment in urban ecologies, versus personal suburban sprawl: Increased ecological efficiency & economy. What this does not address though, is the reason so many have fled to suburbia for the last four generations: personal property freedom & privacy. To get private investment locked into a personal commitment to CotF I propose that the FIRST development priority be a binding contract for residents property rights & personal privacies, and investment rights in perpetuity. Investors and residents should have a very clear understanding of their place in the present and future of this enterprise.

The link you provided earlier led to a blank page. There are also a lot of 'green' vendors with off-the-shelf solutions available, what plans do you have for controlling these requirements listed in the bullet points above? Where are the plans?
