This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

        Talking about moving away distracts us from coming together pushing for policy shifts and actually fixing things.

        How many people you like would it take agreeing to move to X small city that is cheap but lacking community/social life for you to want to move there? You could make a Kickstarter-like-thing out of this. https://twitter.com/BennettJonah/status/1111418408589889543 …

        Yes. One for people with unschool kids so they can run around the neighborhood and play with other kids without fear of someone calling the cops.

        I definitely fit this bill. While I'll invite my friends to come, I think this sort of idea has to incorporate a less strictly constructed social component. Somewhat inevitably this particular dream simply becomes peculiar real estate development, to which I hope to pivot
