Yeah, I guess this is written from a more conservative standpoint.

I believe the principal ideas from the article apply to other people as well. Like progressive people could join a local sports club for example. Keeps them healthy and fit, and provides social contacts. Or then a book club, painting club, you name it.

And well, parents can create communities around their kindergarten or school classes, or maybe also some children's sports club.
