Yes, I think that makes quite a lot of sense. I hadn't
meant to imply that everyone would be living "on the
farm", but rather that it might make sense to have a
"town" with more dense residential, manufacturing, and
service zones, surrounded by agricultural areas, instead
of having the agricultural areas sealed off. -- Felicia
