Tech workers in San Francisco have planned to create a downtown 'commune' that will allow people to 'live, eat and work' all within a 15-minute walk.
Set to be launched on May 11, City Campus, a nonprofit, plans to create a one-square-mile 'campus' in the Hayes, Alamo and Duboce neighborhoods. The exact location of City Campus has not yet been established.
According to the nonprofit's website, the goals of the new urban space is for people to 'find and pursue you life's work, meet inspiring collaborators, live near friends, raise kids in community, do focused work and engage in civic and social life.'
The plan was created by four 'community builders', Patricia Mou, Thomas Schulz, Jason Benn and Adi Melamed.
'The synergy of bumping into people that are working on or doing the same stuff creates this very positive cycle,' Schulz told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Some of the places expected to make up the utopia-like community are communal cafeterias, late-night cafes, civic spaces, debate halls, community experiences, 'pluralistic and secular spiritual spaces,' 'multi-purpose co-working spaces,' and 'mixed-use daycares,'
'It’s finding everything you need and everyone you love within a 15 minute walk.' Benn said.

Yep - in late 50s, there was a plaza 1/2 mile down the street that had a Kresge’s and a Woolworths along with groceries and other stores - the church (and dentist) was less than a quarter mile and the hospital less than 3/4 mile - and, best of all, we knew all the yards with fruit trees, etc...we had our pick of mulberries, cherries, apples, peaches, pears, apricots, grapes, and, as long as we left the gardens alone, most folks didn’t mind us going through for our “snack raids”....
OK, so it’s a mile square.
How TALL is it?
It takes me 15 minutes just to GET to town!
Two years ago I bugged out to a tiny, rural NW Tennessee town that’s so remote we have to pipe in the sunshine. It’s been a great experience.

Thank you. It took me a great deal of searching to find a suitable replacement image.
