Your post today makes me think of two very different publications.
One was a magazine titled “Roadside”. Roadside was known for promoting its “Recipe for an American Renaissance: Eat in diners. Ride Trains. Shop on Main Street. Put a porch on your house. Live in a walkable community.”
The other one that comes to mind is a book titled “The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing Us Apart”. This book looked at the impacts of Americans becoming increasingly mobile over the past few decades given our tendency to seek out other like-minded individuals. (Having moved to a number of different locations in my lifetime I certainly can’t go pointing any fingers in this regard.)
