Where in the world is there a 1950s lifestyle AND green community feel?
I really like to live somewhere with a small community feel, less reliance on cars, rather trains and buses, somewhere that feels homely and safe. A nice place for children to grow up..
Does it exist?
Norfolk?
Bring your cousins.
You would have had to be born before 1940 and even at that you would have only gotten about 20 years of peace before the whole thing turned to crap
Well you can thank the flower child movement of the 1960′s for how things are today. They thought that all that revolution stuff was going to make things so much better and in some ways it did, but for the most part it just left society with one big whole in it.
Waco Texas .No never mind the government burned it to the ground. If you did try to start a peaceful communed like that the gang bangers or government not much difference in the two would try to take over . Peace is all but a forgotten thing today . You can have no peace i don’t care where you go . Only bad thing about starting a peaceful community is that it attracts all the sick pervs for some reason
Wasn’t that Pleasantville, you know where everything was in black and white?
The eternal desire to establish an utopia is what has driven human expansion. We always try to set up a perfect society but it gets screwed up as the population increases, eventually a few get pissed off, move on and try again.
Aside from trying to build space habitats, the only options now are floating cities and controlled environment habitats in remote and inhospitable areas.
Sometimes there are attempts to build smaller communities within or near existing cities but since these are usually reliant on the nearby business centers for employment, they are little more than suburbs and master planned communities.
I’m surprised that there haven’t been any intensive effort to use telecommuting as a means of establishing a community far from the business centers. I suppose it would take a crazy billionaire to do it.
