Most Americans live in suburbs where they have no connection to the place or its people.
The genuine communities that our grandparents and great-grandparents once took for granted - where people shared a way of life, cultural attitudes, and ownership of a particular place - have become exceedingly rare.
People want to be part of communities where they share core values with their neighbors, including the same religious beliefs and similar views on politics and the common good.
Even cities, often detested by those on the right, once boasted neighborhoods where residents felt a deep connection and sense of ownership.
People might have been born and raised in a particular place, but few feel the same deep connection that was common before the mid-twentieth century.
Living in a place where we can share the same deeply held beliefs with our neighbors will be a dream come true.
To effectively wage political battles, we must resettle in places where we can build strength in numbers.
