Man… I can’t even have a little garden on my apartment porch because my unit is in such a position that it never gets any direct sunlight. Even the plants the apartment itself planted for the landscaping just withers and dies from not having any direct sun and they never plant anything that could thrive in the shade.
The last photo in the article has some greens growing right next to the street. What do you all think of that? Any worries about pollution?
I wonder this in my own little yard, too!
Good luck if you live in an HOA
If you chose to live in an HOA you deserve everything you get. They could’ve died out but people keep buying into them.

I wish the taxes would go up. Here in California there is absolutely no downside to treating your home as an investment vehicle. At least individually.

Yes, there is a clown law known as Prop 13. Property taxes are extremely low and can’t be raised except by a supermajority of voters… We do have high income taxes but overall it’s actually a middle-tax state.
Residential property values in CA are only reassessed when the property is sold. So if you’re sitting there for decades in the same house you’ll pay almost not taxes.
Almost every problem you’ve heard of about California can in some way be linked back to this law.
Urban gardening in the news: wow so healthy so easy!
Urban gardening in reality: the squirrels ate all the fruits, the rats bit the buds off of everything, I just wasted so much water and money to increase the vermin population and have no food to show for it.
Shouldn’t it be more important to reduce the amount of water usage to as little as possible? Southern California is all dessert and is constantly in a draught.
Residential water use (especially in cities) is a very small portion. Entire cities use less water than some farms. The problem with water in Southern California is Imperial Valley.
