Imagine if public transport was free and available for everyone, and instead of roads and car parks we planted community gardens to provide food for everyone. I think that sounds very nice, fresh fruit and vegetables should be something everyone can get.

LB: Provided there are accommodations for disabled people who need personal vehicles that can take them door-to-door if needed, I think this would be wonderful. :)

@Some_Person
For me this is an achievable goal of our #solarpunk future

@Some_Person community gardens would not be able to effectively supply the amount of people in most cities.

@Some_Person this might just about work in highly car dependent cities like LA. You get about 2.1-17.6 million calories per acre per year (waldeneffect.org/blog/Calories) for various staple crops. Parking spaces per person in LA is roughly 5. Approximately 242 parking spaces fit in an acre.

www.waldeneffect.orgCalories per acre for various foodswe could feed many more people with the same amount of land if we all became vegetarians, but only if we stuck to potatoes and corn.

@digifox my idea wasn't even to provide all of the food, I think even just a fraction would be good :) some plants might not be suitable for all climates, and might still have to be imported, but having community gardens everywhere will let the people have fresh fruit and vegetables that didn't have to travel many kilometres to get there :)
