I think there are. This guy, and the people on the similar stories that are sometimes poste here on HN, are going it alone, or as a very small group of people, in the single digits at most. He's not joining a large, homogeneous, stable, long standing community. It's very different. Being born in an Amish community would be very different from being born as this guy's baby.

True. It wasn't clear to me from the article just how much community support this guy has, but if the answer is almost none, that would certainly be a problem, and not only for raising children. If you're going it alone in that sort of environment, imagine the consequences of something as simple as coming down with the flu.
