At its very heart, community is the consequence of collective commonalities, but also, critically, of compromise. It’s about coherence despite differences, finding common ground over which to move forward together. As the writer B. K. Loren puts it, ‘I think community has little to do with like minds. It has to do with very differently minded people finding a way to get along because we all live in, are connected to, and share a sense of place.’
