That new form of community I was talking about


You see some very smart folk had this figured out a century and more ago
They knew that mass culture was not healthy
And that community requires more than blood - say face to face, slower than now
And they understand that the fast driving sprawl world we have is a sclerotic nightmare 
Because once the money runs out it is both unaffordable and the very worst of environments when tattered and left to ruin
Sprawl is already being bulldozed and it will all be gone anon
We need an utterly new ground up grass roots democratic form of community building
Which will resuscitate the possibility of what these folk called gemeinschaft
And the possibility of a vital new jobs environment because all those new kiosks that serve a walking populace will need an expert on hand to relate to passers by
The problem is the way we live well now is pretentious and tacky for the most part
It creates drug dependent anorexic bullying fast talking speed freaks with good abs and empty heads
Going beyond green and integral and community is the way of the future
For all with eyes to see
New cyber cities
The computer was the new automobile
That was true 20 years ago
The economy follows
The consequences emerge
