The song Straight Lines has scenes suggestive of communal living. It is good that these things are getting attention, but it is very idealistically portrayed, in my opinion. It would take a few acres to feed a small community and provide extra money. A backyard garden is just a hobby. Also, people living in close quarters do not always get along. It is a thing a group of people must discipline themselves to. Coexistence takes work, in the form of frank discussion, just like alternative living requires some work. http://youtu.be/njPFQXVXTx4
