Ya, self-sufficient wasn't really the right word to describe what I meant.
I'm just trying to show the difference between a community like Lakeview and communities such as (not picking on anyone here....) Coventry Hills or Panorama or McKenzie Towne (etc).
In Lakeview, I do my groceries there, use the barber, buy my gas, service my vehicle, buy the local pizza, get my beer, use the convenience store, use the tailor, enjoy the parks/recreation, etc, etc, etc. The vast majority of my day-to-day life is accomplished within a few square blocks. That's how communities ought to be built (imo).
