Urban communes are a growing phenomenon in North American cities. The authors studied thirty such communes and looked at a wide range of issues, including members' backgrounds, motivation for joining, extent of sharing, sex and love, drugs, group decisions and process, change over time, and ideology. Factors predisposing to success or failure and implications for our society are discussed.
