There the pace of life is faster. With this dual-village life there are no more subdivision developments that isolate people. Almost all regional people work their land. Whether for sales or for soul this contact is central to life. The land is intelligently divided into perma-culture zones to increase sustainability.
Visitors often bring their families to stay and help care for the land.
Most outlying or bio-regional parcels are off the power grid. Our high school kids are also connected beyond the classroom. Excellent cyber-libraries and working studios will fill their class day as they acquire information online and build scale models as teams to demonstrate their learning. They will have access to creative studios, an energy bar, and a skate park. They will truck out with national guard unites to replant their community forests.
