and yet people in all of those places manage to grow their own food. humans are a resilient and adaptable species. but anyway, this is a tangent. even if the land has a playground on it, it doesn’t matter. people can decide how to use a blank space in a neighborhood. if food grows well there, then grow food. if not, make it a farmers market and people can bring the food there. the point is…we shouldn’t pave over the earth and then complain about food deserts.
fair.
and i will piss off…to my garden to harvest my roma tomatoes because the ones at the local store, are shittier and super expensive!
co-located food/housing is common all across the world and is super awesome.
:D
because the mega-corp owned agricultural industry is so great…all city dwellers should just forget how to grow food because “someone has it covered”. i mean its working so well. people are healthier and happier than ever…certainly aren’t any “food deserts” because the corps got it covered man! just wait for the monsanto truck to show up and feed everyone. or…dare to think out side the box and see that solving “food deserts” might just include tearing up some concrete and planting a few food plants instead of bazillions of square kilometers of manicured grass and generi-bushes.
Doesnt need to be corps, its just a matter of not breathing in fertilizer and pesticides. Agriculture is dirty and will spread disease, namely through the water table. Also if you want any even vaguely efficient harvest of crops it has to be done industrially not just random shitty plots of land.
hmm. it appears your actually just don’t know. small scale agriculture is actually much more efficient. you should look this stuff up before talking about this you don’t know about!
if not, make it a farmers market and people can bring the food there.
The suggestion is that this is essentially what is happening. The exact real estate that these buildings will occupy are not likely to be greatly fertile lands. They might not be farmers markets, but it’s the same point you’re making here.

did you ever think you’d grow up to be someone who berates and swears at people on the internet?

Having a garden (even a community one) aint the same as having an agricultural industry to supply a city dicknips.

Tone policing is the lame retort of the person who knows they lost the argument.
