That's a bit of a romantic view, those kind of communities ain't all roses either in my experience.
They breed a lot of narrow minded small thinking bigots, even if they do return wallets.
The idea we should as a society somehow return to a romantic past that never actually existed isn't a good one in my opinion. And we can't do that anyway because our understanding has changed.
Not that there aren't a lot of good things from the past that somehow got dropped by the wayside, there are.
