Miss Gayle"When they spoke—at meetings, in testimony—they described a neighborhood I don’t recognize: dangerous, unfriendly, high-traffic, unpleasant. They talked about the church as an oasis surrounded by hardship. That’s not true, but to the extent that we believe it, we never seem to stop & ponder our role in it. I live here, but they largely don’t. So they share a kind of group fiction, reinforced by distance & repetition."Link: <a href="https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025/6/23/the-light-still-shines" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025/6/23/the-light-still-shines</a><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sustainability</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Community</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Localization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Localization</a>

Miss GayleA healthy economy doesn't break if one big conglomerate goes down, for whatever reason.Our economy is not healthy, but it could be. Local and Regional producers are the key to a sustainable future, not relying on exploitative food and goods shipped halfway around the world.The caveat is that sweatshop conditions cannot be tolerated.
