If projects like this were where you spent the currency that is your life - making the world around you "more accessible equitable and prosperous for all..." as @robrigo of @eos.detroit puts it, you would get a lot closer to the center of this chart...
And that's a big part of what we are trying to create in Dallas. This is a cynical, hyper-competitive, often judgemental (and really, really hot) place to chase your dreams.
You have to create a bubble of trust and align with people who share a similar vision of the world if you ever want to be lifted up - because it is in most people's nature here in business and academia to keep you down (which is why most people leave for the coasts).
Dallas is much like any other metropolis. Unfortunately, people in cities usually lack a physical place to which they belong.
A Pattern Language asserts that the needs for belonging and identity can only be met under certain physical configurations, which I hope to address in the next version of my proposal.
What if your passion is making bubbles?
