I'm good with the "nodal/internodal" aspect of living arrangements you refer
to, but I'm also thinking about all the urban homeless that could be placed
in abandoned homes and encouraged to grow resilient food forests around
themselves, without the expense of demolition.  The money supporting shelters
and soup kitchens could be repurposed for city services (and permaculture
instruction) to support this new group of now-productive citizens.  When we
start talking about paradigm shifting, I guess I want to see it go all the
way.  Maybe that's greedy of me, but boy do we desperately need new ways of
thinking in the food department.
 
Is there support for organic cultural methodologies at least?
 
Either way, I'm awfully excited about Detroit.  And if it weren't so damned
cold I might even move there to join in the fun!

I live near and work in detroit and have spoken with some city 
officials regarding this plan.  Their point of view is that it is too 
expensive to offer mass city services like trash pickup and maintain 
utilities for small clusters of houses that are spread out.   Their 
plan to repurpose the land to green space (many uses fall under this 
category like agriculture, parks etc.)

I personally feel this is a good plan.  Concentrate human settlements 
and use the surrounding land to supply food and other ag. related 
products to the city and surrounding areas.  I would love others 
perspectives and i will bring them to my contacts in the city.

Folks

Just picked this up off Steve Solomon's Soil & Health list. "One Man, One
Cow, One Planet" can now be watched online.
