Little Havana will take them; had to meet with a business down there..roosters, chickens just all walking around easy as you please. it was so weird to see rural in urban but then again the middle of Ft. Lauderdale has unpaved dirt roads that they make black people live on.

yet. the frivolity is the whole point. of course we can't do this but look at the conversation that was started.

may i ask why people would feel the need to grow their own food which is laborious, when they can go to their corner Safeway and purchase it in it's completion?..even bread is a pain in the ass..it takes a long time and no longer fits when you can go buy a loaf that takes 5 minutes v 5 hours baking.
The conversation about purist freedoms..? It's a classic redneck tale; I can do whatever I want and I'm completely oblivious to how it affects anyone else, or even worse, I'm perfectly aware and just don't care.

Literally, all I want to do is grow food. I haven't quite figured out the formula for sustainability, but I want to grow a shit-ton of healthy and delicious food and use it to make people's lives better. I figure that, you can be broke as fuck, but all of that fades into the background when family/friends get together to cook/eat and feel good about life when their healthy free/affordable food source is secure. That's basically my "retirement" plan.

Colorado River is down 20% as you can clearly see.

that's not necessarily a natural occurrence...they drop the water level all along the TVA lakes and rivers in the fall to prevent flooding in the spring...looks a lot like that, but as soon as they open the dams in the spring it fills everything back up. but i'm not saying it isn't natural either, i'm not aware of whether or not that part of the colorado is part of a water management system like the TVA

they MAKE black people live on dirt roads? how do they MAKE black people live on dirt roads?...or are you saying they live predominately in one area where the roads aren't paved? which may amount to the same thing, i guess, but i just get this image of a white guy with a bullwhip and a pistol forcing masses of black people past the pavement...

South Florida, is it that far fetched?

i swear to God; i was doing Lyft and got the pickup around the corner from where i was downtown..it circled me round and round..thinking WTF and i'm on dirt roads all of a sudden..the pavement just stopped..there are high rises all around..i didn't know where i was..HUD i guess but it was like local government cut them out of services and worked around them rather than giving them a few miles of pavement. they also looked as if they didn't have garbage service either.

people really should know what the American Dream truly consists of- it's nothing like you think or they promised you..when the Main Line in your house goes watch how the insurance company will try to get out of paying even though you've been with the SAME company for 20 years no claims.

i thought i saw it all in SoFla..but nothing and i mean nothing compares to NoCo..the people here are way crazier..they don't stay in their rightie bubble on western slope..they venture over..SoFla was a leftie bubble and all the righties were West Palm Beach-ish to the Panhandle except for Tampa which is another leftie bubble.

Quail and rabbits > chickens in any urban environment

quail have been so easy
yeah, actually, i raised rabbits for a little while, and they're a lot more productive than chickens. they can stay in a relatively small area and seem to like it, you can feed them in pans and there's a lot less feed on the ground to draw vermin...and once you dress one, most people can't tell it from a chicken.

I think everyone should have a garden and grow some food. If you have the space and desire, livestock would be cool. It isnt practical, it does taste better, or at least you end up thinking it does.

It's just sort of a basic survival skill I think people should have.

One silver lining with the Colorado drying up is that it will completely fuck the morons towards the end of it that thought it was a good idea to build large cities in the desert.

I'm not sure about this case, but lots of time when these laws were hammered out in the 1800's, they misjudged just how much river there was to divide and over promised it.

70%, seventy fucking percent, of the water California gets from the Colorado goes to industrial scale agriculture in the desert, not cities.
