There is no Utopia, not that I have ever seen, heard of, except in books. Like you didn't know that, right? Intentional communities. I'm all about that. As long as people are sharing the intention. I have been part of a small community in London, working in consensus to get things done and that was really hard. I'm not sure that as much gets done when you sit with a large group and work hard to get everyone on the same platform, sharing the same intentions. (Unless it's the train platform and your wavin' goodbye.) I'm all about renewal plans, First, some of the big cities need to give the land back to nature for awhile. plow all the shit under and start all fresh and nice. like organic gardening. I thought there were cities where this kind of urban downgrade to upgrade is happening. Mostly, you could do intentional community right in your own neighborhood, if you could get everyone together and share a vision. Most people are too near sighted or far sighted to imagine such a thing into being. No trust. ah... I could ramble later gator.. I intend to be really nice to everyone today.
