How about 1/100 acres of land and a _whole lot_ of communal land. A good old 
commune,
eco-community, permaculture-community, intentional community is just what is 
needed
in great number across the globe these days, especially to ensure the 
availability of
livelihood, materials, services, waste recycling, housing, medical services 
(alternative and conventional),
elderly care and food supplies.
