The way human social living areas are zoned needs changed desperately.
We're living in the pre-mach world, yet we have post-mach technology.
A perfect example of a problem is Farmland, USA. There are small towns scattered all throughout to support the farming community. Each town has a population typically no larger than 5,000 and the next nearly identical town is five miles away.
With the kind of machinery and energy we now have, it would be a much better system if say the entire state of Indiana was turned into one field, with drone combines, tractors, etc. all controlled by technofarmer overseers in the city.
Instead, we'll live in the same system for hundreds of years (in the imaginary scenario that humans live for hundreds of years beyond the current) and children will grow up in redneck football towns learning how to hunt, farm, and play simple sports while at the same time swearing they require intuition and know-how.
To many of these folks, Mario Andretti and John Madden are genii.

I went there for spring break last year, it was fucking crazy with partying college kids. It kinda seemed like an old people type community though. I don't think I met one person that wasn't there on spring break. Or do people just not come out when the college kids take over the beach and clubs?SOAPboy wrote:Take the drive and head to havasu.

I'm sure Rawhide has some nightlife attractions.Tsakali_ wrote:k one more question for you locals , is there any good country music night clubs/bars?
Check Mill Ave. On a typical night, you can bring home a 15 year old or two without even really trying.
