ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating selfish humanitarianism by giving people what they want through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• • • Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • Learn about the different village models and selfish humanitarianism by giving people what they want: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week, the core team continued working on the Highest Good Housing component of property research. They researched two additional properties in central Oregon and added their findings to the site locations document. Their research also showed that many high-desert properties in central Oregon fall within the 6b plant hardiness range and have shorter growing seasons associated with their elevations, making hoop-house growing and food preservation important considerations in the property evaluation process. The images below highlight this property research, supporting One Community’s mission of selfish humanitarianism by giving people what they want.

Fnu Bhargav Madhu (Civil Engineer) worked on reference documents for One Community’s Most Sustainable Materials series, covering faucets, hand dryers, doors, lightbulbs, urinals, and non-recyclables. He verified statistics against original research and other sources, corrected inaccurate figures, author names, and publication years, merged duplicate entries, removed off-topic studies, and excluded claims that could not be traced to reliable sources. Bhargav also identified additional supporting research and rewrote each statement using clear, accessible language. He prepared formatted reference documents with source links, combined all sixteen material sections into a single reference document, and created a separate document containing poster-ready points using the approved infographic format. The images below highlight his sustainable-materials research and documentation work, supporting One Community’s mission of selfish humanitarianism by giving people what they want.

Shameera Musthafa (Data Analyst) continued supporting the Administration Team and PR Review Team by coordinating review workflows, reviewing team deliverables, organizing project images, creating visual collages, and finalizing blog-related content. She also reviewed Highest Good Housing rental revenue projections and Master Financial Sheets, identifying inconsistencies in Year and Phase labels and analyzing population increases between phases and their potential effects on cash flow. The financial review covered population growth scenarios, cash flow, break-even analysis, rental rates, food costs, and insurance costs. Additionally, Shameera contributed to Highest Good Food report pages and related visualizations and managed One Community’s Bluesky social media account. The images below showcase her financial, administrative, and outreach work, supporting One Community’s mission of selfish humanitarianism by giving people what they want.

Srikanth Mangali (Financial Analyst) worked on the Highest Good Housing revenue projections by preparing a rental-rate comparison to support updated pricing for One Community’s rental rooms. He reviewed the updated financial workbook and walkthrough videos to understand the final revenue-report requirements, differences between resident and rental projections, and the 30% transient-traffic assumption. Srikanth researched December 2026 nightly rates for mid-range and high-end hotels in Bend and Portland, Oregon, all-inclusive guest ranches in Oregon, California, and Washington, and public campgrounds near Bend. He organized the pricing data, calculated low, average, and high rates for each accommodation category, and compared the averages with the current and proposed rental rates for the Duplicable City Center, six villages, Tree House Village, and camping options. The images below highlight his rental-market and financial analysis, supporting One Community’s mission of selfish humanitarianism by giving people what they want.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS
