#CYBERCOMMUNITIES

Califonia will probably be the first state to discover and build #cybercommunities

Car free mile-across shelled structures

Able to survive fires, quakes, floods, etc.

Having no more than 4 levels

Living, working, recreational space for up to 10 K

Surrounded by land devoted to sports, farming, nature trails

Needing no bearing walls, creating free standing structures that are modular and easily moved and adapted

Three 200 foot walkways connect to four “Town Hall” nodes.

A “city” has 300 residents, 100 each on three “streets” (shaped like a peace sign). Five such cities occupy the hypothetical model in this text. A level accommodates up to ten such cities.

Retractable roofs open to the skies

Based on values of tolerance, democracy, and helpfulness

3d printed, graphene-enabled, easily transported assembly

Economical

People who live there can work there and essential folk like cops and teachers must live there

Diversity rules but so does common interest

We need to move past cars before we will be able to do anything serious about today’s designs which have created today’s culture

#Cybercommunities demonstrate that population is not a problem

The problem is distribution and the effect of vehicular domination of everywhere

Consider a #cybercommunity occupies a square mile

Open space for recreation, agriculture, etc., could be 2.5 square miles

A population of 100,000 K would easily thrive within 25 square miles

One million in 250 square miles

California is 163,696 mi² and I shall assume that only 100,000 could support human habitation

California could provide space for 400 million which happens to be the present population of the state.

I have been generous with these statistics

Let’s see a single car free #cybercommunity

But let’s have confidence that if we remove vehicles and replace them with new ways to move us around we can have parkland and farmland everywhere and live-work areas that are safe, inventive, communal, and affordable to all
