gollark: It is a shame we don't have spare islands anarchocommunists can go to if they want to anarchocommune.
gollark: It is, at least, kind of funny.
gollark: Also they're entirely reliant on the city for electricity and water and stuff.
gollark: Context: you can't really grow food on tiny bits of soil on cardboard. You can't really grow much food on the tiny plots. You can't grow food fast enough for it to be useful in your "commune" in the middle of a city. You probably can't grow enough food *at all* in that area to feed the sort of population density cities typically have. You definitely can't really do it without much farming equipment and by just making a few tiny soil bits with plants in them.
