Global Insights from Small Town Roots

While Carson, NM may seem like a small town in the American Southwest, the values it represents—community, resilience, and authentic connection—resonate globally. These articles explore how lessons from Carson are influencing modern urban development around the world.

Do you ever feel completely alone despite being surrounded by thousands of neighbors in your luxury high-rise? This peculiar modern contradiction plagues countless UAE residents who have everything money can buy except genuine community connection. The gleaming towers and immaculate gated communities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have long delivered architectural marvels and world-class amenities, yet something essential remains conspicuously absent. Recent surveys reveal a startling truth: 67% of UAE luxury property residents report feeling disconnected from their neighbors, with 58% unable to name more than two people in their building or compound. This isolation paradox represents the hidden cost of rapid urban development, where physical proximity fails to translate into meaningful human connection.
