Paladin D Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Okiedokie, I have an interesting plan (more like an idea) of a Catholic neighborhood. I don't want to alienate those of other faiths or anything, just thought this would be a cool idea. When I originally thought of this, I was expecting to make a long, elaborate post describing the idea. However, since I'm not in that mood , I'll make it in a list form. If you have any questions, comments, or realistic suggestions, let me know. [b]First:[/b] I purchase 50 acres of land (or more). [b]Second:[/b] I then lay out a grid and build private streets and homes on my land. [b]Third "A":[/b] Sell the properties to those I know who are devout Catholics (like Phatmassers). [b]Third "B":[/b] Or have residents pay rent, and I keep the homes and lots (though they will have a ton of flexibility to renovate their homes, land, etc). Sort of like living in a very nice apartment where you can change almost anything. [b](If Third "A" is chosen) Fourth:[/b] All the residents will have to sign some sort of agreement that will obligate them to either sell/donate/give their home to their children (or relatives), or to me (or my family). This will be useful if let's say a resident were to move out or die, and another Catholic resident can hopefully move in. Thus perserving the neighborhood with Catholics. What do you think? Still haven't figured out a name yet. This would be an interesting idea also for a general Christian neighborhood, but there will probally be more conflicts with the different theological beliefs. Third B would be more of a hassel for residents (the rent), but it'll help guarantee that the neighberhood will remain a Catholic one. Because if it were to remain a private residence (me owning the land), no one can sue me on the grounds of public discrimination. But if it were a public property, then all we need is a court case on discrimination because a family of Hindus wanted to move in. PS: Think of the neighborhood outdoor parties, a feast day everyday!

Though one quick question: How would they be able to pull it off, without being sued for discrimination? For example, what if a Hindu family wanted to move in? Only way that I know it can work, is if the land was privately owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Or, you could just find a neighborhood like the one I just tried to buy a house in, where it surrounds a Catholic church, and about 95% of the people in the neighborhood are Catholic. But yeah. Totally Catholic neighborhood would be tight. In fact, an entire Catholic city would be dope, surrounded by a huge wall, with Eucharistic processions through downtown every day. That would be soooooo dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicAndFanatical Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 If God ever lets me win the Lottery I will purchase tons of acres in Colorado or something and build a city. It will be called Sacramentum, Colorado and be all Catholic that would be tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA is awesome, it has a large metropolitan area (Philadelphia) in the south-eastern/eastern area. Not to mention Pittsburgh to the west (though not as large).
