A comment on Regarding Michael Pollan’s New Book This Is Your Mind on Plants. Parent comment
Cities/suburbs come with appealing perks: entertainment, dining, large dating pools, etc.
What percentage of young people could we really convince to give up those things and how much would it cost us?
I don't doubt that some young people badly want a rural/agricultural lifestyle. I'm skeptical that we could convert more of them with just money.
