>You need look no farther than major digital nomad hubs like Chiang Mai and Bali to see that there are extremely vibrant communities in these places

Seems like you're mixing this with tech hubs and online communities. Or my understanding of what a real community is, is different than yours.

Communities come in all shapes and sizes. Your definition of community is too narrow.

If you want to play "more community than thou", you're going to lose to the cohousing I spent my 20s in.

Yeah, a lot of things ca be a community. Even my board games or bouldering communities. But that has nothing to do with the type of city community in this topic.

>Your definition of community is too narrow.

It's not my definition here. In this topic we're talking specifically about digital nomads and whether they'd benefit the city of Venice.

>If you want to play "more community than thou", you're going to lose to the cohousing I spent my 20s in

I'm not playing anything against any community, but the topic was whether groups of digital nomads can form a community that would benefit the existing communities of the city of Venice and I gave my opinion on why that would not be the case, so please, let's stop changing goalposts to contrarian anecdotes (your community in your dorm from your 20's is not the same as the community of the city of Venice).

Certainly agree with your point about communities coming in all shapes and sizes. But it, respectfully, seems a bit like a parody to compare a 20s cohousing experience to the entire city, culture, and history of Venice
