I am looking for ideas on what products should be produced locally. Not things that your area can do sn awesome job at and export. Rather things that should be locally produced near everyone.

Feel free to define “locally” as you wish. I am thinking with 5 miles, but with 200 is also good.

Please include your reasoning. Everything from shipping costs, to ownership “punch-ability” are great.

I will kick things off in the comments.

    Am I saying something offensive or ridiculously stupid? Just wondering because of the downvotes.

    Answering to you: yes, and more to my point. It’s not just one thing you need to fix, it’s the whole system. And by cost of living I didn’t mean just rent. I meant everything, food, transport, utilities etc. I’ll just do my best while I can.

      You didn’t say anything offensive or ridiculously stupid, no.

      Most I’d have is a mild disagreement with the statement that it’s impossible to have local places–I feel like only minor adjustments would be needed for many goods in relation to that.
