    Well-managed community gardens can grow massive quantities of food. Literal tons per half square block. I’d like to see more of a focus/funding on these sort of urban farms.

        I’m optimistic for municipal governments to someday get with this sort of thing. I mean, we’ve done it before: victory gardens during WW1&2
