Do you want to replicate this success in your local area?
The key things I have done here are:
Find a semi-derilict religious site that is struggling to figure out how to be relevant in the modern day.
Show up at the site members meetings and be helpful and young. Pick up a paintbrush and paint the wall. Do the weeding.
Run a whole bunch of stuff for local community groups of all stripes there. This is, very solidly, not that hard once you’ve done it a few times. It will also teach you lots and make you greatly appreciate EA as a community.
Secure an agreement that, in accordance with protecting an expression of the site’s religious values and character, groups who particularly express values aligned with religious principles should receive a reduced rate.
Tell them EAs count. Any objections, cite 200,000 lives saved from malaria.
It’s been a somewhat difficult road with a lot of bumpy bits and a lot of personal learning, but it’s notimpossible. And it costs far less money than attempting to buy someplace.
