How many people live in Vedic City? And is anybody still moving there?

That's putting it mildly, Jim. I think I heard there's about 250 there. Several people went bankrupt building expensive homes they couldn't pay for. Last time I checked the Assessor's page~~ which I do regularly to keep up on my snooping :)~~I think I counted over a dozen homes which had been in foreclosure at some point...quite an achievement for so small a town. As they say, everyone has to be good at something. I'm not exactly in the loop, but I haven't heard of anyone building or even moving there in quite a while.

What does anyone do for a living there anyway? Sell each other insurance? Or do they go out and plow the back 40 every day? On 05/19/2011 09:47 AM, Sal Sunshine wrote: That's putting it mildly, Jim.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fwd: Friend Seeks Rental, Prefers MSV
Not to mention that you can go there almost any day at all, even on weekends, and not see one person outside. I have no idea where they hang out or what gives as far as that goes. And, since it's still a new development, there's very few trees there as well. I'm not even sure families with kids are allowed No, definitely not a whole lot of fun.

The reason I ask is I get the feeling it was almost a fad to move and live there, which has since waned considerably. Hi Jim, The 2010 US Census found about 259 people living up there. There are not very many. That was not counting the itinerant pundits in their pundit compound visiting on student visas. The pundits on visa have been rolled in to the Vedic City number now, which sort of obscures the true number living up there. Sort of like with the actual dome meditation numbers being diluted with the pundit number. Most meditators in the area live elsewhere. Mostly in Fairfield. Vedic City is mostly where TM tru-believers live. Vedic city is thinly built, kind of rural suburban. In the later 90's and through the '00's up to present, some number of baby-boomer age meditators who received windfall of inheritance or did okay in business built their ideal MSV home up there. There were a couple guys who were land developer types who built some residential rental up there. You can look on google earth. The domes you can find easily on the north edge of Fairfield. The Fairfield airport is north of the domes on the west side of the State highway. Due west of the airport you'll run in to Vedic City. You'll see it is spread around. The TM movement keeps a number of larger building out there. Further West you'll see the pundit compounds. They are really quite big. Mostly you'll see the ground is quite open. -Buck in FF --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine salsunshine@ wrote: On May 19, 2011, at 6:09 AM, Dick Mays wrote: Fwd from sherrylee33@ Hi Friends, I am wanting to move from my present place of residence, and want to know if anyone is aware of, or has, a room or two that I may rent, maybe house sit.

Thanks for the info Buck. The VC lifestyle sounds too specialized to attract very many people. Yeah, I've seen the domes on the Google. Sounds like Fairfield is a thriving place though. The Art Walk there reminds me of one they've had for years in Santa Barbara along Cabrillo boulevard, next to the beach. Also had an experience about 30 years ago, driving from the TM volunteer plantation-lol- near Waverly, Missouri, to MIU, and we're about an hour outside of Fairfield and it was like I picked up a strong electric current and rode it all the way into town.
