I was going to use communities as my examples due to the relatively small size of each, but decided country was a better metaphor due to each instance's ability to fully control their own rules or "laws", where as communities in the real world are usually beholden to the higher laws of their countries.
Yes. Imagine if every culdasac had its own set of laws that you’d have to consider. Some your friends can’t come i to. Others don’t acknowledge the culdasac next door exists. Sure you could move to the culdasac you fit in with the best, but I wouldn’t want to limit my friends or interests that narrowly, nor would I want those things to be taken away from me and be forced to move all the time. I don’t see it as better.
I think the problem with these analogies is that they're based on physical spaces, you wouldn't want to travel to another country or whatever daily because it takes time, if you had a portal to every other country then it would make more sense compared to here
You wouldn't want to traverse the border red-tape, that's my point.
