I have learned about Summit from my friends Linda Vilatore and James "Woody" Woodruff. I am writing to see if the vision of your enterprise might match my own.
I own 160 acres of land on the West Slope of the Sierra with a mile of South Yuba River frontage, surrounded by Tahoe National Forest and at the threshold of what I call the "Nisenan Wildness"*. I have had a longterm vision of helping this land start a complete resource-secure human/nature interface transformation for the Tahoe Basin. The vision includes the building of a "string of pearls" which are concentrated developments in the middle of wildness linked by mass transit, liberated from fossil fuel addiction, and organized around loving and deeply sustainable, nurturing incorporations of community and based on the principal of Sacred Capital.
I imagine traveling from the Bay by high speed rail in my "mod" -- a personal tram like mobile room that can be docked on a train, a ferry, a semi truck, connected to a cable, or simply add square footage to my home when not in use. I dream of being whisked over abundant nature to my ARC (awesomely resourceful community) while I sleep, work, or play. I see myself looking down on the poor souls stuck in I-80 chain control, or watching a pack of wolves take down an antelope in Bear Valley. I see my ARC being connected to an ARC on the top of Signal Peak with back country access into the Grouse Lakes Recreation Area, a hub of a series of guided recreation opportunities at the crest of the Sierra Nevada and home to an economically diverse community that is capable of surviving the vagaries of catastrophic climate disruption.
Just as the current transportation and residential/commercial infrastructure of Tahoe was built with bonds, as a Commonteer, I see the construction of the new resource paradigm being built with funds from the Act of Common Bond, a government guaranteed bond measure that provides both a secure and evolutionary investment opportunity for the hard working middle class, but also a pool of money for every native born citizen over the age of 26 to invest in a democratically structured company with at least 300 other partners.
I have much more to share, but if I have not peaked your interest by now then I wish you well. I have recently undergone a series of extreme challenges and am looking for what the future might hold for me.
