Brock Fankhauser, the founder of a North Carolina retiree community called 1776 Gastonia, shared why he decided to develop a community that targets patriots.
developer said there aren't any consequences for anyone who breaks the community's rules. He hopes interested 1776 homeowners would want to be consistent with the neighborhood's covenants."To come after people with the heavy hand and penalties doesn't strike me as consistent with founding ideals," he continued."So we are heavily reliant on the mutual pledges that people make to each other.
Fankhauser says his 1776 Gastonia housing development seems to be in high demand as nearly 200 people have inquired about the community. He says his other communities outside of the 1776 brand typically only get about 10 inquiries before the homes are listed for sale. "Over time, if we have success like I think we will, patriotism will become vogue and then maybe we can have some healthy debates about things like tax policy and the judicial system and foreign policy," Fankhauser said."But right now, it's very important that politics and policy be void of our movement all together."
