Oh, I've known people who gardened just for the fun of it ... but they said
so.
Gardening for fun? Fine, admit so to oneself and go on. But I think part of
the "fun" is the illusion that they are saving money and/or saving the
environment.

I'd say anything but suburbs. In a properly done city one could put the
shopping basket over one's arm and go to the very, very, very local market and get
supper.
Suburbs don't work that way. They are a function of personal transportation.
One is far more dependent on a car in the suburbs than in the city or
country.
That is, so long as we are not mixing metaphors. You can't live in the
country and depend on a cash job 80 miles away and do without using a lot of
transportation fuel.
Just as most people who live in the country are not sustainable, too most
people in hte city aren't either. But both could be. The suburbs cannot.
If I slowed down to 20 mph, it would
take an hour. I could do that. In fact sometimes I find myself driving slower
and slower anymore. Cars will tailgate and impatiently whip around me and
careen off into the distance.
