Thank you Ryan! I never have seen the differences of the plazas as I do now. I've stayed away from the digital ones as they don't have an appeal for me. On the other hand, I have been on a lifetime mission to " figure out what else we can do beshides suburbia", Your post hits at the heart of the challenge we face....how do we want to be humans, now that our old reference points are (have) disappeared? Thank you! What I know is it's nearly impossible to come up with an answer until the question is defined. Onward! into the emerging future!

Thank you for the comment, Brian! You've hit on my intent here exactly: to reframe the question. In a lot of my writing, I've been trying to reckon with nostalgia and utopia to figure out what is possible in the reality we live in, and to suggest changes that can help. But I don't see any silver bullets. Nevertheless, by raising the question I hope we can figure one better solutions together!
