I very much like the idea of small communities trying to be self-sufficient. Growing food, and engaging in small-scale manufacturing. I believe that people can build good lives living simply and focusing on their hands, their minds, and their shared skills. Rebuild community in small pockets. Because the globalism thing isn’t working out for the majority of people.

Kinda the way things were when little towns popped up along the railroads. Obviously things came in and went out by rail but most people worked locally.

My little town was born along a railroad. Actually it was born at a crossroad about a mile south but when the rail arrived the town moved to it. Products that were produced here went out and products produced elsewhere came it.
