In life most people are not able to have more than one home at a time. Most those who are here in the meditating community now are not going to just up and move away. A lot have come to Fairfield and some lot of meditators haven't left Fairfield regardless what bad the behavior the movement has been up to at times. Most of the deeper erosion (attrition) happened back in the 1990's. Since then its been a smaller chronic or endemic attrition for various reasons, some usual reasons around money, sex, or differentials of inclusion or exclusivity, including the ongoing reigns of terror excluding people from the communal group meditation by administration. And yet people move back to Fairfield to be in the meditating community. Housing is kind of tight right now with people, young and old, returning. But still the larger portion of meditators lives on in town [Fairfield] or the County [Jefferson] outside of contact with the organized or formal movement on campus or with the Global Country of World Peace hold up out in M. Vedic City to the edge of Fairfield proper.\ One thing for sure, real estate there is preposterously affordable. I could buy a veritable mansion there for the median price of a house in Victoria which, at the present moment, averages $607K. And FF has some wonderful old wood framed homes with wonderful interior wood detailing and stained glass windows. And the neighborhoods are classic old-school American with their sidewalks, mature landscaping and tree-lined streets. I could easily bypass the Vastu housing which I recall is probably over priced anyway although some of the examples I have seen online are quite gorgeous. If I did go Vastu I would make sure to include the south facing door though - no, make that two south facing doors.
