Building with Transcendental Values in Mind

Living in close proximity to essential places like work and the grocery store leads to a deeper appreciation of short distances and reduces the dependency on cars. Integrating transcendental values like beauty into everything we create can counteract the focus on profit and efficiency, encouraging a more humane approach that prioritizes human flourishing and the common good. This change can be achieved by fostering real friendships and relationships at the grassroots level rather than relying solely on governmental or market interventions.
