"I have a thought" (no its not a parody of that famous speech, "I have a dream", but its close) -- what if we "seized the moment" and created "Our Town USA" along these lines:
1. Buy a large plot of land where we could create "Our Town" -- it could be a remote tract in the Rockys, or a piece of land behind a friendly resort, but it must be private and capable of being maintained as private (these kinds or opportunities exist all over the place);
2. Sell "time share" lots to those who can afford it, and according to the fantasy of those who want to work that particular type of retail (waitress, baker, cook, mother hen, etc.)
3, Each lot would be "improved" with a retail space below and a living space above (maybe at first it is just a main street with store fronts and a parking area for RV's);
4. Purchasers would be able to buy one, two or more weeks of the year;
5. Each piece of property would be dedicated to a purpose to advance the town, bakery, cafe, general store, etc (as wide as our fertile minds can range),
6. Each "lot holder" would "staff" the lot with the appropriate workers during all or the designated parts of the year, dressed as appropriate for the task;
7. The synergy created woud create our own town, a place to relax and get to know others in a true small town atmosphere;
8. No cameras allowed, a security gate for the protection of all.
9. The lots would be sold as part of a private social club, with any transfers to be approved by the other club members.
10. There are surely those out there witht the necessary sophistication and desire to make a profit who could make this a reality and at a great price for all.
11. Imagine, one, two, or more weeks to indulge your fantasy, 100% of the time, and in a club that you control. Could be real cool.
