I’ve been thinking about why I love your concept so much! I think it was my upbringing on a Scottish council estate in the 80’s/90’s! Industry had been shutdown and moved abroad (cheap labour), ensuring high unemployment, poverty etc, feeling abandoned by governments (unless it was to be policed by them)! The community was everything to each other, assisting through every hardship by sharing food, emotional support, clothing, childcare etc! We didn’t need or want government intervention, we despised them actually 😅 my childhood was the best of everything, taught me more in an educational sense (thank you dad), taught me to be streetwise, have your wits about you, question everything and everyone from up the hierarchy 😂 (and your peers sometimes, but less so). The investment in the community, by the community was unreal! Taught sociology without realising 🤩

So, thank you for the reminder or how awesome humans are 🫶
