- danielweber 11y agoThere is something to be said about esthetics. Cities make a point to keep open space, and pay a high price to do so, because open spaces are psychologically valuable for people who live in cities. NB: I'm still skeptical about urban farming, and too much urban farming completely destroys the "open space" aspect.
