But this always disappointed me because,<br />1) It implies there is something wrong with where we are and there is some value in going somewhere else, somewhere better<br />2) For people with jobs and families, we need to stay 'rooted', and we need metaphors to help us live richly in one place. <br />I do think a big problem is not that we choose to move around frantically, but that our mobile economy forces us to relocate frequently.Jeff Parkesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-21446502653629576922017-04-24T11:45:47.913-04:002017-04-24T11:45:47.913-04:00The pleasure is mine!
