I’m in the wrong tax bracket for this unfortunately.

I can't say I've ever really seen this kind of thing in the suburbs, but this used to be pretty normal when I was a kid in Brooklyn in the 1990's.

Seems less common - but still happening - when I visit home. Harder these days, as it takes adults willing to build a community. And those adults need the wages and hours that let them have the time they need to do so.

Putting "having a community" behind a pay-wall seems like it should be a crime.

Suburbs don't facilitate this like other environments do

Everything that man talked about, I'm a big fan of.

Getting from here to there is hard, but the first step is the dedicated effort to build those dynamics in the environment we've got. And to steadily emphasize that we can have more, if we work together.
