"What do you call a lawyer who helps people share, cooperate, barter, foster local economies, and build sustainable communities?
That sounds like the beginning of a lawyer joke, but actually, it's the beginning of new field of law practice..." Janelle Orsi


Janelle Orsi is a "sharing lawyer" in private practice, specializing in helping communities share housing and cars, form cooperatives, launch urban farming initiatives, and form social enterprises. She is co-author of "The Sharing Solution: How to Save Money, Simplify Your Life & Build Community" (Nolo Press 2009). Janelle earned her J.D. from the UC Berkeley School of Law.

The <http://www.sustainableeconomieslawcenter.org/>Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC), facilitates the growth of more sustainable and localized economies through education, research, and advocacy to support practices such as barter, sharing, cooperatives, urban agriculture, shared housing, local currencies, community-supported enterprises, and local investing.

Hi Bob,

Thanks so much for your consistently thoughtful responses in this forum
and for this response in particular. I'm a big fan of your work.

Thanks for the suggestion of more attention of invible structures. I
have certainly neglected that.

I am hoping that there is enough similarity between suburban / urban
environments to make these patterns useful (perhaps they are not:).
Perhaps this regulatory environment will be one of the most distinctive
things in each area.

I like your vision of urban and suburban spaces and their
interconnection. I have something like this in mind. I would like to
begin in the place that many people would like to begin - in their own
backyard. I hope that by showing the limits of this (while optimising
it) that it will assist people to think of cooperative options for
gaining other needs.

Thanks again for your work and comments,

Harry

This is an interesting list and article at the link. The main thing
I would add is more attention to the invisible structures. The way
most cities and suburbs are constituted these days, a lot on that
list would be illegal. Cities and their suburbs are full of traps
like the one our Oklahoma City code enforcement just sprang on me
which caused me to have to cut down five mature fruit trees, two of
which were in full bloom when felled.

One of the biggest invisible structure issues with the suburbs is the mandated single family occupancy neighborhood. In such places, duplexes/triplexes, four-plexes are illegal, as are garage, attic,
backyard and basement apartments. In general it is also illegal to
operate a business in a suburban neighborhood.

I think that suburbs have a lot of potential, because of the lowered
density of the settlement. So there's lots of green space with food
production potential, and also room to increase the population
density without overpowering the food production capability -- IF the
single family occupancy zoning designation is relegated to the dust
bin of history. One of the best apartments I ever had was in an old
house which had been carved into five small apartments. It was
perfect for me at the time, one room with a bath and kitchen
attached, complete with a murphy bed that disappeared into the wall
during the day.

I've always felt that as we reverse-engineer large cities and their
suburbs to be more sustainable, what we end up with is a pattern of
regional centers connected with transit options, each regional hub
the center of several smaller village hubs, each in turn surrounded
by neighborhoods of mixed use and varying density. Overall, the
effect is a greater complexification and diversification of a
territory.

Hello Folks,

A while ago I posted here some ideas for suburban permaculture
elements. There were a few suggestions which I added to my list which
I have made available as a link from the link below. In addition to
that file (which is now kind of relegated to 'draft' status) I have
been thinking about how to develop a richer framework for suburban
economy. I would really appreciate people's thoughts.

Suburban Permaculture: towards a pattern language | Perennial Ideas
http://bit.ly/kz66nd

I would really appreciate people comments, ideas suggestions. I am
also looking for someone to give me some advice on how to actually
depict some of the relationships involved in linking these elements.

Harry
