That’s not at all feasible for places with long, cold winters, or southwest areas without enough water, among others.
And before you say “well people shouldn’t live there then”, they live in those places because of the other resources. For example, let’s say logging in Montana, or oil fields in Texas. You’re not going to get the world to stop needing those resources any time soon.
They always had some kind of food importation. Unless you want to go all the way back to the first few people in the area who did subsistence hunting and gathering. But that’s also not feasible for more than a few people.
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.
Dear fuck youre stupid. The problem isnt fucking growing the food not existing it aint a fucking famine or blight. Its logistics you dumb motherfucker. The Central Valley here in California could probably grow enough food for most of the US by itself, but doing so requires a large logistics network. This has always been the rule since the first cities, even if back then it was jusy getting it from the fields to inside the city walls. It is exceptionally rare for a city to grow food within itself.
Yes. Dude ive been a raging asshole since I was fucking eight or so, if anything ive mellowed out since then. Its just I fucking loathe abject stupidity, especially from those who seem to think food desert = no food grown rather than the much simplier answer that is nowhere to buy food. Ah thats no fair I loathe the seventh day adventists, mormons, nazis, and authoritarians far more than I dislike you. Its just something about your dumbshit comment struck a nerve. So in summary piss off dipshit.
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
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.

I wonder how people in these areas survived without grocery stores, then.

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.
