A change in Patterns--The new localism


Newsweek has a great article about American's and their desire not to move. This is a huge shift in how we've normally been a nation that picks and leaves. It it most interesting the place that family, commitment to local community and even the internet are playing in this. Enjoy the read and see what you think of the new localism.
I personally love this trend and look forward to what it will mean for stronger downtowns, local newspapers, the building of community and other institutions.

Great piece Larry - thanks for posting it. Interesting ideas about the changing patterns of politics re: localism; something that can be picked up even in talking about virtual and epistemic communities.
