If my cyber-communities ever get built, everything can be both local and tied in globally. This is because my cyber-communities are about 10 k people living within a space with a mile diameter max. Modular mass construction creates the lego-like living-work-commerce-entertainment-recreation spaces that attach to the global eco-skeleton which makes the whole thing affordable and sustainable. Even franchises would be more local than today's highway culture versions. Kiosks every 300 feet or so would replace today's stores. Squares every 300 feet or so would house the eateries and schmoozing places. In a kiosk, you find an expert (or a teacher) in this or that and they direct you to this or that on a big screen. Education is rampant. You watch big brother, not the other way around. Big brother is the best of the best. Quality increases exponentially. When local is really local and face to face, trust starts returning, life starts becoming more interesting, community starts to grow once again. Just get rid of the cars and it will all start to become clear,
