These two images are typical rural sprawl compared with Central Manhattan, on the exact same scale. Now I'm not an expert on these matters, but something tells me pollution, traffic and logistical problems would be much, much worse is everyone had their own plot of land.
Why do I get the feeling that even if I had my own farm and was forced to live a boring, isolated life with nothing to do, that my land will eventually get invaded and stolen from me by some hog, claiming that he owns it actually because "me strong. You weak. Strong take from weak!"
That's why you need a strong commune with armed comrades who will defend one another
wow chuds really are pakleds
