If you could design a subdivision community, what would you want to see? Liek what features would you want in your hosue or what would make it more nicer or convenient? Also, how can the design encourage people to socialize more?

So what are your ideas (keep them somewhat realistic or practical).

  1. The one that is not built is the best kind.  We have too many homes in the US.


  2. having a park that has no mow full of habitat with designated trails for horses walking and recycleing is mandatory and you can have a clothes line cause rules against it are making us dependant on energy from people who dont like us

  3. I would like one where I do not have to hear Hollywood celebrities and liberal politicians rabbiting on about things they know nothing about (i.e. anything).

  4. The other guy is right.  You can design to an extent, but people usually ruin it.  Look at the Cabrini Green neighborhood in Chicago.  If you don't know it is a ghetto full of welfare recipients who get free rent.  

    They build it, gangs and drug dealers take it over, then they bulldoze it and build it nicer.  As though the buildings were the problem.  Then people move back in and trash the new nicer housing project.

  5. I came up with an idea once for 'tool pool', where you list all of your tools, photocopy it, and give it to your local neighbours in the street, everybody does the same thing, so if you need to borrow a long ladder, you just knock at number 16 and say hi! Same could be applied to DVD's, books, big toys (trampolines and the like). Just little things make a big difference.

  6. A Farm, or perhaps an earth-based community OFF THE GRID.  A large single house or complex, with a commom area where people can share meals. Set up a "tribal" councel, where every member of community gathers and meets to discusses what happens with in the community. Working with nature is proven to releave stress and plus people would be able to enjoy their own fresh home grown foods. A self-sustaining farm or green-based community  would be realistic and pratical, for both the short-term and long-term, in my opinion.

  7. I like Peter W's idea!!!

  8. When you live in harmony with your environment.  No pollution, everything is recycled and you can be in tune with nature.  Of course that is not possible because you have a neighbor whose second hand tobacco smoke enters you home and your kids complain and everyone gets upset.  Another neighbor fixes his cars and dumps the oil into the storm drain because he's too lazy to dispose of it properly.  Another neighbor has his dogs running all over the neighborhood, chasing little kids and barks at all the people who walk by.  And the same neighbor who doesn't clean up after his dogs poops outside his property and flies multiply like crazy.  Well you get the picture.  If you can solve all the social problems you got a perfect subdivision or community.
