"Inspiring video "Homesteading in Hollywood" though it's actually 1/4 acre in Pasadena. The amazing thing is 4 people survive on $30,000 a year. "

And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
