    You couldn't pay me to live in a large city, I need some land and space.

    that' s awesome!  When I retire I'd love to move out west and have a few dozen acres.  Are you from Ohio bud?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Funny thing about living in the city,  they designate certain spaces and parcels of land for public use.  Plenty of room to spread out.  It's not all concrete jungle you know.

    Yessir, born and raised an hour south of Canton off the I77 corridor Tuscarawas County, out by Tappan and Clendening lakes.  Now I am over 1 county, Carroll County, by Atwood and Leesville lakes.  It isn't beautiful like out west, but it is a lush deciduous ecosystem with plenty of hills and a great climate.  
    It's quiet and inexpensive out here.  It's about as close to apocalypse proof as you can get.  Not that I'm a prepper, I just like the simple life.

    I gotta agree with Unsung, having some shared space isn't comparable to being able to manage your own private space.
    Everyone is different, not everyone is accustomed to or desirous of country life, but there's no comparison.

    You can't alter public spaces, you can't harvest anything but recreation from the land, you have to deal with other people's trash and misuse, you can't even get your hoot n holler on!

    just a thought: the supporters on the right seems to voice their opinions and concerns in a more quite civil kind of way like voting and peaceful rally's for the most part, I'm sure there a few right wingers that acted stupid but... the leftist seem to want to destroy public and private property, block freeways and handle their anger with violence but I'm sure this has been the Democratic way from day one. any thoughts on why the left and right are so different ?
    what difference does it make?

    we are americans. and if we sink or swim we are doing it together as americans.

    well now...that post just changed the landscape, you are absolutely right Gimmi.

    I gotta agree with Unsung, having some shared space isn't comparable to being able to manage your own private space.
    Everyone is different, not everyone is accustomed to or desirous of country life, but there's no comparison.

    You can't alter public spaces, you can't harvest anything but recreation from the land, you have to deal with other people's trash and misuse, you can't even get your hoot n holler on!

    Community gardens are a great step forward for the world, no doubt about it.  Grow food not lawns is a great slogan, but the groups I've seen attached to it have never impressed me.

    From what I see in our neighborhood they're mostly run by the local grade school children.  Helps them understand food doesn't just come out of a drive thru window. They're more excited to eat veggies when they've spent all summer growing them.

    living in Winterpeg, my daughters' school does this indoors. they have one classroom that is dedicated to growing food naturally (well, hydroponically). it's great. they get so excited when they see things they've planted, grow. 

    and then every summer they spend so much time outside at the in-law's cottage helping their grandparents pick veggies and fruits for dinner. love it.
