Mourning the Loss of My Favorite Commute Spot

[Trek420]

I don't know where I get this trivia, someone will correct me but I read somewhere it takes about 8 families buying local to support a small family farm.

And we can't say for sure why this farm's abandoned, farming is haaaaaaaaard work and lots of things can go wrong

Yet if you enjoy these places where you walk, bike, hike, run, ride please think about it when you shop

Odds are good if this land gets turned into housing (and why is anyone building new tracts when they could buy and remodel existing and turn this &^%$ market around or buy my newly remodeled bikeably close to BART, 3 farmers markets and coffee condo? But that's another thread ) those owners will drive to the store and buy whatever it is this farmer raised that's grown now somewhere else and the process continues.

I'm sure those farms and farmers are great but why should they get all the great rural places to ride?
