Like Working From Home Has Changed Everything in Business, Such Will Happen To Housing
Things are massively changing. Things that were taken for granted as the way things just are, are suddenly disappearing.
Everyone believed going to the office was just normal. That it was just life. It was the 9 to 5.
And then came the suburban housing developments. Everyone with a little house and a little yard, with a picket fence. And most people thought this was normal, the best they can do. The American dream ("because you have to be asleep to believe it")
But something went wrong. Well, it was wrong from the beginning.
Today malls are pretty much empty. In fact, many expensively decorated malls are now govern-cement offices.
Tomorrow those great big commercial buildings will attempt to be turned into apartments/condos.
The next day it will become apparent that suburbs were one of the worst things we ever put money and time into.
FOOD!
The biggest problem with suburbs is there is no place to grow food.
Even still, everyone should tear up the lawn, and plant a garden.
The human needs grounding. This happens easily when they are growing their own food. Getting your hands in the soil, eating the vegetables that grew in your soil. It rarely happens at all when living in a suburban house. It doesn't happen when you live/work in a multi-story high-rise.
When the "hippies" say you need to go put your hands in the earth, they really are just saying a fact of life.
It is also important to grow food in the magnetic space where you live. The food grown, for you, by you, near you is the most nutritious for you. It is not simply about calories, there are many things that support your life, that are almost missing from our factory foods.
So, it will be discovered / rediscovered that what the human body needs is nutrition. Not so much calories.
And we will find that it was a great conspiracy to get people off the land. To get people away from their gardens. And hopefully, "We don't get fooled again ♬"
LIFE!
To grow healthy boys, you need them in a place where they can run, tumble, explore. Cooped up in a house with a tiny back yard is not a healthy growing environment for boys. And don't get me started on what is missing for raising healthy girls.
If we are going to grow children, our neighborhood needs to be designed around raising them. Govern-cement schools are aberrations that should be destroyed. They do not teach or educate. They destroy minds, especially the mind of boys. We must learn what growing children need and provide that.
People do not grow well in stagnant, unchanging environments. They also do not grow well in environments that do not have any stability.
When a child is born into a community, that child needs to be provided a space. To be included. And this means they must be allowed to change the space. They must be allowed to leave their mark on the world. Our current suburbs and "ownership" denies this. The normal child would grow up, and then get a house of their own. Usually they would inherit their family's house. But today, we live so long, that it is the grandchildren who may inherit the house. But, the children, and their children were pushed out, so what connection is there for them?
Further, the young adults should be starting a family of their own, however, in real estate, they must OUTBID everyone who has come before them. What a horrible thing to say, to do, to the young adults. And what are you to do? There is no space. The suburb used up all the space. Every single inch. Nothing left for the next generation.
We must plan, and enact these plans to allow for space for the next generation.
And so, we will find ourselves abandoning suburbs like we have abandoned the malls. Like we are abandoning going to the office.
We will migrate to form communities with like minded people.
We will do this for many reasons
- Food
- Safety
- Growing healthy people
- Mutual help /support
- Manufacturing (yes, a family business, but not a small thing like we may think of today)
- Because we can
Suburbs will be abandoned. Like, literally, a huge swath of urban blight ghost town. And good riddance, we have destroyed our lives/minds for too long.
Along with this goes all the big box stores. All the grocery stores. All the fast food restaurants. Everything you drive to get to today. Watch the closures in Komifornia. Gov Nuisance is just accelerating things there. These changes are coming to everywhere.
Keep an ear out for your tribe.
And make peace with abandoning your suburban house. It is not an asset, and will quickly become dead weight.
