I think I'd buy some rural land, build a mini-town, that was fully self-sustained electricity wise, water wise, and sewer would be handled in an environmentally rational way. I'd run huge fiber to it. Each house would have enough room for a garden behind it, that would be required to be farmed, if the homeowner(they don't really "own" it just have permanent rights, if meet conditions) didn't want to farm it, then they would have to allow others to utilize the "garden section" to grow food.
I'd then take homeless people, drug addicts, or people wanting a fresh start. The contract would be each of them will have to take a drug test every month, if they fail they are gone, forever. They must also take Technology related classes, and work towards building money producing websites, or services. Applicants must have average or higher intelligence, as deemed by testing, in order to join the community. The money produced from these websites or services will help fund the community. They must pass all classes with a B average or higher. If they fail to pass at a B or higher they must retake the class, they are allowed only one retake a semester. The "community" will own all the rights, and intellectual properties produced during their first 5 or 6 years in the community.
During year 6 they will be given the ability to head their own project, after 6 years of successful drug testing, and having earned a degree. They can select to either leave, owing nothing, with 20K in cash, and ownership of their year 6 endeavor. Or they can stay, still have to take drug tests, they will get paid a reasonable amount, they will have lifetime rights to their house (provided they stay clean, and work in the community).
The grocery store, will be zero profit, enterprise, though only members of the community can shop at it. Child care will be provided by the community. Purchases will be bought in bulk.
Overnight Visitors are only allowed up to a week / month, with a permanent community member signing for them. Daily visitors, can only enter the town after 8 AM and must leave by 10 PM. No one can move in without joining the community program, and agreeing to the rules. NO EXCEPTIONS. All people in the community will be issued access cards coupled with thumbprint scanners, for accessing any community facility 24 hours a day. All community facilities (Grocery Store, Pharmacy(not 24 hours), Rec area, Community equipment, School area), will be 100% (except bathrooms), under video surveillance.
All buildings and property are subject to search at anytime for any reason, without warning.
No groceries of value greater than 5.00 dollars can leave the community (subsidized store), no equipment can leave the community. No equipment, or anything or value can enter the community, except with prior approval, and or through the regular channels (store).
No High speed vehicles will exist, in side the town limits, you will park them outside, and simply, ride an electric vehicle in.
No Alcohol, No Drugs. No Exceptions. If you want to get drunk, you probably should rent a hotel room in the town you do it in, and don't bring any in.
Infractions, outside the mandatory expulsion events, will be voted on by the community at large, and the appropriate punishments, or penalties. They either submit to the ruling or leave.
This is a community for people that have fucked up hard, to get back into a healthy position. This is the purpose, thus the hard rules. If they fail, they can't say they weren't given the chance.
