Idea relevant to medium-density locations.


Consider that all people living within 1 mile of the current location have an interest in supporting the 

	area in general as a good place to live in 



Involves a small spirit of co-operation and helping other people


Does not involve sharing, or excessive helping





Advantages

Areas that operate in this way can operate with almost no violence


A general feeling of the world being a safe place where there is no real danger of starving to death or other 

	significant problems


Generally plentiful quantities of food, clothing, and to a smaller extent houses.





Disadvantages

Not suited to cities as this tends to lead to a lot of strength that requires people being physically separated

	by long distances to maintain personal space


Has the potential to invade personal space if there are comments about people's personal lives, a lot of 
		
	telephone calls etc.






Requires

A local sheriff of other way of preventing theft, violence etc.

A town council to arrange services (rubbish collection etc), and make local laws (traffic parking etc)





Notes

Facilities relvant to areas like this

	banks, retail shops, sports facilities (swimming pools, football fields etc), electricity supply to houses, etc.


Services

	Doctors (medical treatment), accounting (financial issues), etc.



Income for old, or infirm people from taxes on production, trade etc.


Works a lot better if there is currency used for buying and selling items, rather than a system based on owing favours.



Recommendation; that people have 2 or 3 friends and do not wave to or talk to other people in the street, unless

	they know that person (have spoken to them in the past)



relevent to many situations in very small amounts
