@neonsnake @violetmadder @Steve @CorvidCrone @C4SS IMO such arrangements, along with micro-manufacturing for direct use, would emerge primarily in response to capitalist crises of unemployment and underemployment, supply chain disruptions, etc., coinciding with the potential for subsistence through cheaper and smaller-scale tech. But I can easily imagine burbs being retrofitted into microvillages, with a neighborhood machine workshop, home-based micro-bakeries and sewing shops, lawns converted to edible landscaping, etc.
