1/ I've followed @Chris_arnade for a while, read his book, thought a lot about how the low end of the ladder is losing its sense of community and place…but only recently have I started realizing that my own sense of rootlessness and lack of community isn't just me & my oddness https://t.co/gZm8Ku8EQn

That is accelerating a trend I document in my book: the erosion of local community health & a sense of place

it is also part of a larger trend of the working class & middle class losing institutions they have a stake in, both economically & culturally. https://t.co/1cjNCZTSch
