No city can ever be self-reliant, let alone a neighborhood of it. Citizens are well-advised to get out of the city once in a while, not to gather inspiration in nature, since nature is not ‘out there’, but to see what they derogate as the ‘province’…and to walk back in and see to the fact and efficience [sic] that the city rises thanks to all that which flows into the center via those same ways we take; food, soil, water, and also, vision, breath, and power. One can hardly get back from such travel and not come back with a greater baggage than when one departed. The city depends on what its province gives it; how unjust to consider one subservient to the other.
