The Good Place doesn't have cars, except for when Michael and Brent are being awful.

I literally cannot comprehend secured housing. Its like a dragon or unicorn. Sounds rad AF, but 10,000% unrealistic.

secured housing

I'm not familiar with this term. help?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think they mean not renting? Or maybe living in a defensible space??

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Right. "Comprehend" is the wrong word, it should have been they can't imagine ever having secured housing.

I'd be so into this if there was something we could all walk to at the end of the block. Like a main st or something

Friend 3 runs the pub at the end of the block. Doesn't even need a car.

Or a large wall with cannons and machine guns to keep out any trucks with flags on them.

My aunt and her family lived in a place like this. It was such a weird vibe. We never walked or rode our bikes anywhere, we just played in the yard.

Maybe 1 or 2 of those friends is worth living next to. The rest are "friends" and make this a nightmare situation. You never wanted to be around them THAT much.

No one outside of high school has six friends.

No one makes friends with six random neighbors. And certainly they don't all consider each other friends.

There's a reason this is called a "dream".

Me, a guy with maybe a dozen friends I hang out with on a weekly basis, whistling past the graveyard of loneliness

There’s a reason this is called a “dream”.

One trick to living in a cul de sac with six of your closest friends is to meet your neighbors and become friends with them. I'll say that COVID really helped me with this, personally, because during the peak I was just out on the driveway or walking the local trails trying not to go stir crazy and... so was everyone else. Pretty soon we were doing impromptu parties on the driveway and yoga on the lawn and whatever else we could to avoid the isolation of a pandemic.

But you don't need a killer virus to wave to your neighbors, say hi, and strike up a conversation. And there's a compounding effect. When two people are out talking, you're likely to pick up a third. When five people are hanging out at the end of a day, it can quickly become ten or more.

If it's an instinctual response to wish for this kind of thing, it shouldn't be hard to imagine people gravitating towards these relationships IRL.

Hell. I don't want a huge house. And where's the commerce and culture?

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Plus that big wide field where your kids are going to be snacked up by rocs.
