So what you want is an apartment with community gardens, maybe rooftop gardens and/or a multi-tier greenhouse interior for an apartment block. (Doesn’t help with living in the woods, but I think we were all born a bit late for that to be practical for most, tho we could rebuild community gardens and rewild our spaces if we condensed housing)

That’s what I want too. I hate owning property and needing to upkeep it and shit, all so I can have growing space and privacy. And I don’t even have much of either.

We can do those things, we just choose not to for… reasons.

I suppose a shed in the woods is not impossible but a lot of factors need to be just right or it gets way too expensive and/or uncomfortable. In Europe, most forests are publicly accessible and there are various tiny settlements but I suppose that's not the case in many American states.

Here in the Netherlands we have lots of plots on the outside of cities with gardens people in apartments can rent for a small fee. Friend of mine has one and we get a ton of veggies and stuff from them every year it's great. Going out to take care of it is like a day to the countryside kind of thing, they tell me.
