@zachklein Attainable homeownership in desirable urban areas would make it easier to put down roots, but people must also actively choose to participate in the offline things that make neighborhoods communities. Belonging to a place requires effort.
@zachklein Agreed. The internet has a way of inserting itself into all aspects of life, ostensibly making things cheaper and more convenient, but at the cost of real, local, messy, human interactions and ultimately connection to place.
