All of that is so close, that there is definitely not any social interaction to be had while en route to any of those, except the times that I’ve been asked for money by random people while dashing through the alley to the grocery store (not a common thing around here) But I live in a mid-sized city, so it’s not a massive trek to go to a friends house.

Putnam likes to imagine that there is a triangle, its points comprising where you sleep, where you work, and where you shop. In a canonical English village, or in a university town, the sides of that triangle are very short: a five-minute walk from one point to the next. In many American cities, you can spend an hour or two travelling each side. “You live in Pasadena, work in North Hollywood, shop in the Valley,” Putnam said. “Where is your community?” The smaller the triangle, the happier the human, as long as there is social interaction to be had. In that kind of life, you have a small refrigerator, because you can get to the store quickly and often. By this logic, the bigger the refrigerator, the lonelier the soul.

My family's getting involved in a co-housing project in our area where we'll be a block from the stores we usually use and have a common house that we share with our neighbors (for shared activities and shared meals -- when we choose to take 'em that way). So, I'll be able to leave my home office, interact with my immediate neighbors (some of whom are retired, others of whom, like me, work out of a home office), hit the store when I'm outta Kit Kat bars and come back to work socially refreshed.</p> Ah, that’s interesting.
