Grist is a modern relational spreadsheet. It combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the robustness of a database.

I've noticed this in the town I grew up.

They've recently added on three housing developments at the edge of the town. There's no local shops. No pub. No pedestrian or cycle routes to connect it to anything. No schools, community halls, doctors surgeries.

No town planning whatsoever. You buy a house and are expected to just exist in it.
