I think that this is a really critical point.  I lived in cities for 
most of my life, and had little or no contact with the "fortress" 
attitude towards property ownership until I took a job as a gardener, 
which required me to venture out to far outlying suburbs and maintain 
some pretty bewildering castles.  In conversations with their owners, I 
quickly found that many of them were positively ecstatic about the 
relative success of their quest for a situation that no longer required 
them to go anywhere or see (OR HEAR) anything on which they had not 
planned.

Well, I'm relatively new to the list, but isn't this the point at which 
someone proposes a project?  It might be interesting to see what form 
this takes, and many of us appear to have fairly strong feelings about 
it.  Either way, let me know what you think.

Best,
