Thank you for the article. It is such an important topic today. We know community is an essential part of our lives but unless raised in a tribal tradition (not that all of those worked perfectly) we have not been trained in the mindset to accept and support everyone!
So many creatives have tried to create it: religious institutions of all flavours have created, parish activities, satsangs, study groups. Counsels: the men's shed, community houses... Hippy commune, architects like Le Corbusier, retirement villages... None solve all the the problem fully. If we all put our heads together what could we come up with?

yey!!!!! for an article full of amazing possibilities. creating small opportunities of sharing "stuff" with neighbours is a "seed" we can all plant.
Great article, reminds me of the Robert Frost poem: Mending Wall
