Working on improving economic health – Ecology of economic scales – Throwing the dice this week

My goal is get people to think about what  would engender financial health (at least) in society as a whole.

Today:

What does the economy of a healthy neighborhood look like? What projects are appropriate and essential/desired at that scale?

Food

Shelter

Home heating

Small household needs

Household services

Transportation

Health

Education

Electricity

Communications

Clothing

Insurance

Entertainment

Exercise

Charity

Governance/law

Spirituality

Friendship

Deaths

A wide range of concerns. Its obvious to me that unless I intentionally meet my neighbors and form arrangements about each of these issues, they won’t form by magic. Its also obvious to me that much that needs to happen in the world, must happen at the neighborhood scale.

Some neighborhoods have actual associations to facilitate these needs. Lets also talk about how to start them.
