Single Occupancy

Which brings us back to my weird veggie commune. Insufficient funds landed me in an idyllic college commune. Now, eons later, humanity is living longer than ever. Maybe it's time to rethink living alone. Newly built villages where people have their own rooms, but share amenities in community rooms and kitchens. Restaurants with communal tables for people who want to sit with others. Neighborhoods where seniors can mingle with young children, should they wish to, but where they can also dine in scream-free ambience, should they wish to. Single moms with a built-in population of caregivers and resources. Politicians who no longer kowtow to "family values" when so many households are comprised of singles.

It worked in my weird veggie commune. No reason it can't work in the future. Let's define living alone in a brand new way.
