re: #331 Killgore Trout
It’s breathtakingly stupid. Imagine what it would be like if local businesses coordinated to set up farmer’s markets in urban areas on weekends. It would help local farmers and bring customers into the city. Imagine if neighbors got together, cleared and empty lot and started community gardens, baseball fields or playgrounds. There’s a lot of talk about free market solutions from the right these days. This is it. This is exactly what the right should be doing but they won’t because Obama wants it too. Disgraceful.
erm - my city has a farmer’s market every weekend downtown. And once a month they add crafts. Surely other cities do the same thing?
