'Ah, We're Back'

mat israel started his arlington commune around the same time he formed a national organization with a very distopian name, the association for social design. As happens with most of these experiments, the adults themselves couldn't get along, and eventually the whole thing fell apart. The problem with the houses, says israel was that the residents weren't really buying into the behaviormad mode. There was very little control over the participants. Israel says they could always move out.
