Hey guys.
We need to bring communities together on a hyper-local level so that they can take over their own lives.
I have a plan to transition communities away from corporate and government tyranny.
Your thoughts?
Also, think you could help us do this?

We need cities to become a grouping of small accessible clusters connected together instead of having many blocks served by one gigantic mega store. It would reduce transport cost by alot, most clusters would contain residential and commercial which would all be walking distance from anywhere within that cluster. It would also create a sense of community which has practically dissapeared lately. People don't even know their neighbors anymore...

I was at a party with my sister and some of her colleagues in a tiny town in Idaho a few years back. By tiny I mean permanent population less than 50. We were chatting and somebody said he could never live in NY because of the lack of privacy. I told him you have far more privacy in NYC than you do here because everybody here knows everybody else's business and in a NYC apartment you may well never have contact with your neighbor in any meaningful way. Which suits the fuck out of me. Why should geography determine who your friends are?

Because it is possibly the biggest factor contributing to friendship. Your first friends in school are fellow students which come from the same town or very close. Your work colleagues live in the same town or close. People living on your street are the easiest access to potential friends. Cashier and staff from stores from your neighborhood are also more likely to be your friends given that you talk to them.
Most of the people you know from far away are most likely current friends that moved there and introduced you to the locals from there when you visited him.
Our social lives used to be dictated by your geographic area. Nowadays the Internet is flipping it around completely. I'm more friends with you in NY than I am with my neighbor living on the left of me.

I went away to school. I don't have a single friend that I keep in contact with from where I lived. And I also am more friends with you than the guy to my left. Who is a dick. The people in back are cool but we only rarely chat and the people across the street are young parents with little kids. They're nice and friendly enough but we have almost nothing in common. This is not because of the internet. It is because of who I am and who my wife is. We can be gregarious and charming when we have to but we really would just rather keep our own company. There is only a handful of people I would actively seek out. Chris, Mark, Carl, Nancy, Rebecca.
GET OFF MY LAWN!

This is exactly what we need.
