Growth lies in remaking society


Definable communities of up to 10k in walkable areas off limits to automobiles
(Reduce and phase out oil use by means of recalibrating communities)
Ending zoning as we know it and creating a mix of residence, work spaces, public amenities, kiosk shops, services
(We are past the industrial age and entering the cyber-age)
Recast manufacturing to center on the creation of mass produced "spaces" to be the lego-like units of construction in four-level max walkable communities
(To enable creation of a giant skeleton to which spaces are attached in order to enable all functions that are currently the costly elements of individual houses and everything needed for eco-sustainability)
Concede that to resuscitate dying education and dying families we will benefit from the creation of intentional communities where pioneers of cyber society can live according to values of tolerance, helpfulness, democracy and non-idolatry

What would be economic growth signs?

The problem is not growth
It is what makes for growth
What makes for growth is vision
What vision is is decision
Decision is what is important
What is important is that consumer society is toast
Superficial and illiberal education is toast
Bullying culture is toast

We need to create new cities
New communities
New structures that are local and tangible that you can walk to
We need to restructure construction
We need to change education entirely
We need to decide whether jobs should be distributed to all who want them
And how to do that
We are not close to the beginning of economic growth
We will be closer when we answer these questions
