The company I work for had a community development program near our mine in Africa and what we did was actually sell plots of land that the company had developed...water, power, sanitation. We did not go the "company housing" route, but rather made low interest loans to the native mine workers and allowed them to buy their places...no strings.

In no time, there were gardens and lawns, trees and playgrounds...it is just human nature and it fascinates me that the socialist do-gooders can't figure this out.

Cheers from the highest (legally) FReeper

I would certainly include large caliber weaponry as part of the private property. :-)
