Personally it's my approach to most problems:
Rip the Damn box to shreds and Burn the Sucker!
Just because one mentions a "Resource Based Economy" does not mean it HAS TO BE J Fresco's Interpretation of buildings and living.
Sure some may like the futuristic approach to living. Others may like a Rustic Approach. Others may like a Castle Approach. Others may like the Shore Cottage Approach or Arctic Living.
POINT IS THIS: Peter Joseph, Zeitgeist Movement, J Fresco and many others have done some real nice work in getting ones to see the importance to live within the Earth's Means and also have a most enjoyable life.
I see many commenting on the video's and Fresco's ideas and they clearly have not watched them all the way through nor truly understand the ideas and approaches of work.
Why not have an open mind and think out of the box? Some aspects actually darn better be seriously considered. So why not take at least some of the positive aspects from them and see whatever else is out there regarding a Resource Based Economy or come up with a think tank of new ideas.
Remember: The Models Produced are highly costly models of ONE DESIGN and ONE ONLY. You have to look past that and see the genius in many simply made common sense solutions as to distribution, Work Force Traveling, Manufacturing placement and other parts could possibly be tweaked etc. Along with the ability to learn any type of work and live anywhere anyhow you wanted on the Earth fully using your capabilities for self expression as to what your home and life could be. NOT that it HAS TO BE. But it's just an idea.

“TOCSFAE” IS TOXIC TO THE BANKERS
From the beginning when our country was formed we face many challenges and many opposing views
Just like today however, the peoples voices have been silence by special interest groups as well as the over whelming power grab by the bankers. Your demands/petitions will never be heard or taken seriously unless lobbyist/corporate have bless it for greedy reasons or Co-Opt it.
It is time for a fair hearing!
Wouldn’t it be great if you can be heard, fairly and equally? Wouldn’t it be worth your time to know there is a petition list, worth signing rather then getting involved in so many other worthy causes? Can be a drain, especially knowing many of lists of issues will mostly not be look at or simply be voted downed.
It can also be time consuming.
This is were the 7’step plan an ever growing list known as the “TOCS FAE” doctrine helps just about every cause, the cause that helps almost all other causes should be supported. These step plans, solves many of the roots of all our problems we face.Whether you have protested at the gas pump or you are an Occupier and Tea Partier, for that matter any protest mover, make your protest have meaning, give it the teeth it needs beyond the gas pump and over the protest lines.
This petition will be a notification to congress of things yet to come and to properly prepare.
As of January 2012 we the people
We will not take the abuse anymore and neither should they walk around with there heads in the sand.
We will begin the process of phase one
Your petition will go to congress, informing them you support The “TOCS FAE” Doctrine and so should they, by making preparations for receiving and forwarding income Tax mail. Your petition will also go to the top corporations letting them know of our intentions and they too should support and act by sending their taxes directly to congress. They should also be informed if our demands are not met protests will be under way the likes they have never seen.
After this is achieved and we have broken the back of a few select Corporations we will move on to Step1 Taxes which may take months or up to a year
Step1) Send your TAXES to a trusted congressman or congresswoman which maybe hard to find in your state. Make a Petition with your neighbors. Phone, email, fax your congress your list and intentions. Prepare your taxes, made out to the I.R.S check and envelope, and a stamp. Fit it in inside of a bigger envelope, onto which you should write congress address, preferably your state congress.
Example
Washington, DC 203 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone Number: (202) 225-2831 Have congress unwrap the envelopes, state you want your taxes to be mailed to the I.R.S
If you are asking yourself, what will this achieve first it can be used as a bargain chip however, congress cannot spend it or over take the fed reserve and banks system over night, nonetheless this will indeed give teeth/meat, back to congress. You should include a sign return receipt so as to show proof you paid your taxes.

If you are interested in expressing this message to Occupy General Assembly you should present the "TOCFAE" Doctrine in David Ferola's name, and claim you are him, for solidarity purpose.
That includes woman and children
you are dam right, many people criticize the ideias of a resorce base economy not understanding that the model of buildings proposed, are just plain simple that: models! Models made by a single person with is view of aesthetics and design. And for what i understand most of those models and drawings were made years ago, i mean considering the evolution of design and architecture since then the aesthetics accepted in society have changed. and refusing the proposal of a social-economic model just because of that is just a shorted sighted view, what matters is the ideas behind it, the technical aspects will follow later when more people participate.
Still thinking inside the box of controlling people.
Why does government exist? Because people are incapable of self-governance. Why don't we think about how to get people capable of self-governance? That's outside the box, for ya.
Selfishness will get you nowhere. Unfortunately for some as the GA's clearly show there are many decisions of a very simple nature that many have ideas on and yes basically it's loving to consider the impact of your decision or want etc upon others.
Not to say you can't live as you personally want to live. That's your choice. I presume there will be no stop lights or anything else that's community used out of necessity due to the fact there are Billions of People on the Planet.
Let alone the Planet that's dying. So a pat answer of just let self governance rule is clearly a predetermined closed minded "boxed mentality" that closes one off to free thinking of major issues that need to be addressed.
The ideas presented for consideration of an OPEN DISCUSSION is Actually IN LINE with SELF GOVERNANCE.
Makes you think someone left the door open and the Professional Trolls got in!
Have a good one...
Good point.
