Yes, the few endure -- and good for them.  This is not a new concept, but the success rate has never been high.  Look at the really ambitious communal settings, like the Amana Colonies.  They still exist, but they are more oddities than fully functioning communities.

-- my guess is most ppl are not suited 4 commual life, except as a family unit. . even then the goal is to eventually kick the kidz out the door (ie, become self sufficient adults)

I remember the Amana colonies from when l was a kid. They made fridges or something

Yes, the colonies decided as a group to start a company: the Amana Corporation, and they made fridges among many things, and even invented the microwave oven.  The company's still exists as a subsidiary of Whirlpool.
