[https://www.enrightecovillage.org Enright Ridge], Cincinnati, is an [[urban ecovillage example]].
* It grew from one house and now encompasses 80 buildings containing 90 households
* They estimate the people "involved" are 1/3 supporters of the ecovillage, 1/3 open to the idea, and 1/3 indifferent
* They're on a long dead-end street
** Ben: This likely helps, not being too intermingled with mainstream life
** Brandon: Close to jobs, but far/separate enough to be "going to a place"
* Home prices are low, so easier for [[unconventional people]] to make it work
