re: #229 Killgore Trout

I talked to my hippie neighbors the other day. One of them lost her job and they can’t afford their house and are going to put it up for sale. However, they are planning on moving into a high priced “sustainable” earth friendly condo development which is about half the size and almost the same price as their home now. The concept is “communal urban sustainability” which means 30-40 condos surround a courtyard with a novelty “farm” complete with chicken coop. They think they’re going to save on living expenses from the communal “farm”.
I thought it was best to not say anything about how it’s not a feasible idea.

They could plant some fruits and veggies in the backyard. I grew up making pies from the blueberries and cherries in the backyard. I didn’t know that cherry pie recipes don’t start with “Take a bowl and ladder into the backyard.”
