Everyone seems to long for an “escape from reality”. My community makes that escape from reality, a reality. The aspect of my community that will first grab your attention is the aesthetic aspect. Let’s be honest, we all like things that look good. Somewhere between my communities luscious greenery, litter-free streets, refreshingly pure air, and friendly atmosphere you’ll find yourself feeling that your current community is a tad inferior. But the real selling point of my community is that it goes beyond surface appeal. In the midst of economic turmoil, we manage to isolate ourselves as much as possible from the outside world and we are able to maintain an steady, semi-independent, economy. Grocery stores are provided for by in-community resources. We have our own factories, manufactories, agriculture, and so on. These resources not only provide jobs for our community members (and our community members only), but they also allow us to control our own prices. Only community members are given special community prices. Outsiders that stop by to shop in our out-of-community shops only further benefit our economy.
The biggest problem convincing people to live in my community is the extensive application process. You see, in this community there is virtually no crime or murder. In order to maintain these standards there are extensive background checks done on each individual that applies to be a member of the community. We only want to be sure that we can provide the safest environment for our members to raise their children in. The thing is, once someone sees what my community has to offer, they usually find that the benefits far outweigh all else. Also, we don't need to advertise our community; word of mouth takes care of that for us.
