Sounds like a good plan to me. Wal-mart would be a great place if it was a local owed co-op of local goods and imports being traded for a currency. It could also serve as the distribution center for exporting of the local goods of that community. All this individuality stuff in the US is too much, we all rely on one another we can't all be completely individual. There is nothing wrong with getting together and doing constructive things.
I guess since we are talking about farming, and you mentioned tomatoes out of season in certain areas.
What about large scale hydroponic grow operations? For variety of crops in any type of environment.
When people say "we need to go back to simpler times" I agree, like local food production, local manufacturing, closer organized communities. But it does not mean
that we can't bring our smart phones with us. We need to live old school style, with our 21st century technology.
Along the lines of empty land sitting doing nothing, I agree, it is a waste for land to sit and be useless if some human thinks he can develop it and make it useful for all. Same with housing. It is sick to me that all these houses and apartments sit empty while people sleep in tents in my city at 10 below.
I also think fixing food would fix a lot of problems, as would legalizing "drugs", a few things people think are minor, but I think would have much larger effect.
