Well.. this may well have been done before however rather than research every idea i come up with i would rather just write it down and find out later.
so anyway around the corner from my house a brand new suburb is going up, one thats all "lets be a community and close nit and we will be better than everyone else who doesn't live in our gates". So I thought...
Why couldn't anyone build a suburb... think about it. website/group.. www.letsbuildawebsite.co.nz then every goes on and puts in some money for a part of this suburb, anywhere from $1.00 to $1,000,000 once the target has been hit (obviously a symbol like a thermostat (like they used to have outside schools fundraising for their new hall) then the suburb starts!
The suburb would be sold for financial gain obviously, however spot prizes could be, every 10th person to deposit money gets to name a street etc. would be a project undertaken online with people deciding where the suburb can go, the color of the street lights, the FLAG!
Think it could be quite an interesting experiment.. expensive yes... but how often can you pay $10 to name a street "Spanner Crescent"
