College community. Their communities are all over the place geographically. So American Life has changed in that Community Stability ascent he will with interest that in. We just kind of documented through discovering this kind of research that the social factors have kind of sabotage our ability to support these kinds of close refrigerator relationships. What we discovered to was mobility and american culture, really sabotages this relationship. So at the time were writing, the statistics were about warty three, 45 billion americans moving every year. That kind of relocation really takes a toll on our relational health. If sabotages are relational network. So we are having to take these relational hits every time we move around.
