Summary
This conversation with general contractor Eli Spevak opened my eyes to what's possible in modern neighborhoods if we prioritize people over privacy. We explore how co-housing and shared spaces turn neighbors into genuine support networks, creating the trust, safety, and belonging so many of us are looking for. The good news is that whatever your neighborhood's culture is, you'll walk away from this episode feeling inspired to be part of the solution for a kinder, more connected world.
