Hope everyone is having a great day so far!
Branching off from my previous blog, Post Food Scarcity, I wanted to more deeply explore something that I eluded to in that post, and that is the Community Kitchen. How a shared space amongst the community fosters a sense of togetherness while also helping to reduce the redundancies of appliances and tools since not everyone would need to procure their own. Is it possible for everyone to come together in such a way? And how does that impact the daily lives and spatial needs of the individual? Find out here:
What's your opinion on this take? Could you envision yourself living in such a community? If not, what would you change? Always happy to hear other opinions, ideas, complaints, and experiences, so feel free to share! The more viewpoints I can experience, the stronger the ideas! πͺ
If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read and hope you have a great rest of your day!!
In my post-soviet country, there are still apartments where bath and kitchen are shared. These are always more poor people that live there. From what I gather these become places where conflicts happen quite a lot. Maybe itβs because of higher alcohol consumption, but I can only see this working in already bonded community. Maybe problem is that right now, they have it like that due to lack of money and is not by a choice.
Very true. An already bonded community is key to making that work. Headcanon was already established communities, so the bond would be present already. I believe that there will always be some conflict, but as long as people are not forced to live together (as in mentioned, a lack of money to afford something better), then most people will either learn to live with each other and share or find somewhere else where they are a better fit.
Would make for some interesting story points, the clashes of personality around these shared spaces.
