I hope you are correct. But my understanding is over 8% of the US population lives in cities, an inverse from the 30's depression. I doubt there is enough arable land to do much of anything. Besides expensive water, it is against local ordinances and home owner associations. Could be fun.

Well of course a character had to be dropped out of my last comment. It should have read 85%.

My neighbor has had a garden for years, and she is giving me tips on planting my own. We live on several acres, so growing our own food is not a problem, as long as we still have water. Here are a couple of links to sources for finding your own local produce:

Herbs and such can be grown in patios and indoors. We are in for hard times, for sure.
