“Good Fences Make Good Neighbors” — Robert Frost
Well, I remember how the ideal future society had everyone living in these little boxes all stacked around each other.. on top and below. At least, that was what all the folks in government were telling us made for an ideal society. The quaint notion that ‘good fences made good neighbors’ was all a lot of hot air…well, that is what they said, but most people didn’t swallow it.
It’s a good thing that this utopian vision of the future never came to pass because… frankly, it doesn’t work.
Recently, a UCI economist has clearly demonstrated what we all have observed:
Just another planning myth bites the dust… and they wonder why we here in California try to do all of our planning through ballot box measures… because planning for our communities is too important to be left to government employees who may not have to live with the product of their imaginations.
Queen Latifa said it best,” I lived my whole life in a box… I don’t want to be buried in one.” Human beings crave space to live… not just enough to exist.
Roger Freberg
However, I thought that there had ‘to be a prize for playing this game”… like graduating and earning a ‘dah-ploma’ and a good job? They do graduate — on the average at Cal Poly — in roughly 6 1/2 years. Did you hear that Momsy?
I guess everyone in America was cheering on the man who supported our troops… and ran as an independent and on his very strong convictions!
