Hi Merlin,

The banks are now in possession of development land from broke developers which is strategically placed outside of every major town and city. Since our Government has given the banks a state backed guarantee to save them, temporarily, then we should be able to lobby to borrow this land and put it to some practical use. If a scheme could be devised where the unemployed could start growing for themselves and the more vulnerable in society, it could get the ball rolling. Obviously, this will not be that simple so it will take the efforts of community groups and politicians to make this happen. I am going to follow this up myself so I will keep you all posted.
