I’m amused by how this idea keeps cropping up. I’ve concluded it’s unworkable because these communities don’t actually exist as the clean sets people imagine. They’re leaky fuzzy small world groupings which lack sufficient consensus. You can get to n=10 at most without going cult

Has anyone figured out the move with all your friends to a small city and live on the same street thing?

I suspect what people actually want is to live in a medium-big city that has a few good third spaces where you can consistently run into people and good transportation so the overhead to visit is not too high.

I think it would work if there was a well formed antagonistic force/situation. Eg: entrepreneurs/writers/tiktok content producers/people just beginnig their careers who needed to share resources. Once there’s no need to share resources we get a great new reality show.

I think being leaky is great. I just want to be close to friends instead of living hours of travel away. Being able to live close and do things together sometimes sounds awesome, and that's what I miss most about college. No time to make good friends while everyone job hops.
