Very interesting article attached below.
I've always longed to live in an extended community.
Maybe it can be traced back to my childhood where my life was filled with extended family and friends who would always visit or stay at our home for dinners, parties and movie nights. As an adult, I've attempted to recreate that environment as often as I can with the best people I can find. Hence #SaadSanctuary and #SkySanctuary.
Now, as I start to ponder what my own family might look like in the next 20 years (wife? kids? friends with kids?) I wonder how I might maintain this plurality of relationships and experiences for myself, my partner and my children (future children, I don't think I have any right now!), over time.
This is further challenged by the fact that so many of my dear friends and family are now so spread out across the world. And, as usual for me, I'm not satisfied to just repeat what's come before. Rather, I want to take it to the next level. What might a community like the one described in the article look like in an urban, modern setting? Penthouses instead of fields.
