I'd like to live in a neighborhood where my biggest obstacle on the sidewalk is a fallen sunflower plant, and not the pile of human excrement in the middle of the sidewalk, not the homeowner that decided as long as his car is not sticking out into the street, it's ok to park half in his driveway and half in the sidewalk, and that there's actually a complete sidewalk, it doesn't suddenly end for a block because for whatever reason, that undeveloped property was never required to build a sidewalk.
My parents grew a lot of tomatoes... I want to say we had at least 12 plants in a row in the garden - summer was tomato season, tomato sandwiches, fried green tomatoes, we shared and traded with neighbors for whatever was growing in their garden, and mom canned what we couldn't eat immediately so we had them all winter.
As a new parent, I'm surprised you're not more tolerant of these "save the world" hipsters since they are reducing their impact today to save the world for your child(ren).
- moron4hire 10y agoWe don't get human excrement, but we do get the dog variety, even though the city puts out bag dispensers everywhere. And yeah, we get all of those other things, too. Actually, I'm about half convinced there is one guy in our neighborhood who tore up the sidewalk in front of his house, extended his lawn, and just plain got away with it for 20 years. You want to play farmer, there's plenty of farm land just outside of the city. Agriculture does not belong in urban centers for a reason. It's a public nuisance. These people also don't pick their plants on time, so the rotting vegetables attract insects and vermin from everywhere. There's a reason cities and farms are separated and it's not "cuz cars".
