The Community First Village is a super cool project. The grounds and facilities are top notch. Some friends asked if I had felt unsafe, and no I didn’t at all. I did have one moment of slight uncertainty when I passed by a home with a loud fight taking place outside, but that could actually happen anywhere (and has), and I don’t expect the Village to be different from normal life or to somehow force every resident into being “perfect” everyday. The residents overall were welcoming, sometimes chatty :) and helpful. Also I had to come and go for an event around 4:30am, and I felt safer here than I might have in some dark Austin neighborhood street. It was well-lit and under surveillance. The area around my tiny home was quiet. This location may be a bit further for some, but it’s still accessible, and for me it’s next door to an annual event I attend. I’ll be back next year!
