The solution for dying rural communities

Shannon Hayes: Saying Goodby to the P.O.: Thousands of small-town post offices are on notice for closure. Radical homemaker Shannon Hayes on what that will mean for the communities who love them.

The solution for dying rural communities
Is to become pioneers in the creation of
Car free communities of sufficient size to enable a vital local economy to develop
This could mean consolidation of communities into clusters containing up to 10 K
The result would enable development of what I call cyber-cities
These have residences, work places, services, commercial ventures, public places - everything - mingled and designed to work together
This is the successor to sprawl commuter society
