urban living
Welcome to Wanderland
As a child growing up in a huge city, my daily goal became to reach the one spot I'd discovered where I could see no sign of civilization for 360 degrees. That remains my goal as an adult. I live for the forest, mountains, beaches and waterfalls.... What will the future literally look like? This idea comes from watching Mad Men- seeing smoking and drinking freely at the office for example, and my brother once pointing out that if a show or movie ever wanted to make it really clear that it was set in the 1990’s, all they’d have to do is have multiple people driving Saturn cars.
So here are a few of what I think (hope) the future will literally look like:
Gas stations will be very rare, and parking spaces will almost always have charging stations.
Having a garage in homes will be rare because car ownership will be rare. Using self-driving Uber-esque systems will be way more affordable, and car ownership then will be similar to antique car ownership now.
Lawns will be very rare, and permaculture-style of local fauna that doesn’t need care, upkeep, or watering will be common.
What do you think the future will look like?
It’s hard for me to imagine car ownership being rare. I love the freedom of going on road trips or driving wherever I want. I don’t yet know what that would look out if I didn’t own a car. I love the idea of permaculture yards though....
