Where ever we go, there we are!
My grandpa told me, no matter how "far out" or rural you buy land, you will always have neighbors.
But it helps to have a like-minded community, and to come together to make some effort. On all levels we are experimenting, no one has the final answer yet - and we can all participate where ever we are and where ever we go!
Yeah, by nature these are the best neighbors you can get here... I just think growing food in scale is a way more healthier lifestyle than buying food at markets... Which is also unavoidable. The large scale process to supply food for a city is kinda astonishing... And then many other details / modern necessities to get solved... So yeah, anyway, just really trying to be grateful for small things and shortly escaping that. But seriously, here Rio is one of the states where people most moved out from recently, and is not out of reason...
