This thread got to be about city vs rural/suburban, which is an interesting point of discussion. But that discussion doesn't capture the more interesting aspects of G.S and I don't think it's a fair description of his message, which belongs to the same realm as Permaculture/Emergent Renaissance Ecology/Green Wizardry. Systems thinking, a focus on production, multiple bottom lines, creating buffers, social capital, skills development, a relentless realism and pragmatism. Et cetera. This video is about his Sonoma getaway that he is renting out but plans to retire to and showcases a lot of these processes. I especially enjoy how he works around all the red tape:
