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! 💪
If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read and hope you have a great rest of your day!!
I love this idea, but I’m already sold on the idea of co-living and stuff like that. I need to make some church lady friends to see if it’s feasible to use the church kitchen (not a religious myself but I grew up isolated in the sticks and that is my only frame of reference for how community is run: the cabal of lil old church ladies.) In the meantime, I think tool libraries should be carrying the weirder or less-used kitchen appliances (waffle irons/makers, dehydrators, giant crock pots, canning supplies). I’d still have a problem of lack of counter space in my lil apartment kitchen, but it wouldn’t be compounded by eaten cabinet space.
