Serenbe

I feel about Serenbe much the way I feel about Garden and Gun magazine. It's mighty false. You might be asking -- What, exactly, is Serenbe? Well, it's one of those tres elite planned communities that touts "sustainability," "community," "organics," and all that other elitist bullshit. In other words, it's a rich folks trick. Here are a couple of quotes from their website:

"With a price range beginning around $300,000 to $500,000 and up, the community will likely attract all sorts of people in various stages of life."

"[We achieve our mission] by building villages and hamlets for single people, families and empty nesters of a wide range of economic and cultural diversity."

Well, I hate to tell you, Serenbe, but with home prices starting at "$300,000 to $500,000," you ain't gonna get a whole lotta "economic and cultural diversity."

And I love this one:

"At Serenbe we place special emphasis on the 'earth-centered' arts to celebrate the cultural and ethnic heritage of the Chattahoochee Hill Country."

I don't even wanna think about how they're gonna "celebrate the cultural and ethnic heritage of the Chattahoochee Hill Country." I especially don't wanna think about the ethnic part. One can only imagine ...
