I never understand why likeminded people don’t just start a city? “Wild country” was an example of this, but they were bound together by a quasi religion.

There’s so much unincorporated land in the USA. So many opportunities to prove things work or don’t work. Why move into a place somebody else built?

Unincorporated but not unowned and there's a huge amount of infrastructure and money required to setup even a small town ex nihilo in some randomly selected part of the country.

Building infrastructure is something easily solved by capitalist. Can it not also be solved by likeminded people with alternative economic principles?

Because beyond doing it by hand and setting up a city sized septic system the equipment for stuff like processing waste and preparing water is extremely expensive and the only sources want lots of money for them. It's doable just very delicate and requires permission and buy-in from actors in the existing system.
