There’s a story about an old Marxist who would address leftist rallies in Union Square a century ago as, “Workers and Peasants of New York City”. Leftists eventually transform farce into fact and that’s why New York’s number two mayoral candidate is touting a “New Agrarian Economy”.
It’s time to farm one of the most expensive and densely populated cities in the country.
Mao had kicked off China’s worst famine by demanding that wheat be grown everywhere. And New York City’s Maoists are following in his footsteps by trying to farm rooftops and parking lots.
Urban agriculture is one of those obscure lefty ideas so insane that few even believe it exists.
But Mayor Bill de Blasio had already created an Office of Urban Agriculture and the New York City Council, which is so crazy that it makes De Blasio look sane, had declared war on “food inequity”, by vowing to grow food in one of the most densely populated cities on earth.
If your city is going to pot anyway, why not go to Pol Pot? more here
“If your city is going to pot anyway, why not go to marijuana Pot?”
There. Fixed it for ya.
…the caved-in roofs are going to be epic…
Let’s see…………
Assuming that the rooftops can support the weight of a decent amount of soil without collapsing…..and then there’s the hauling of load after load of soil up elevators and stairs (assuming everyone doesn’t quit)………HEY! GREAT place to bury the bodies AND fertilize the soil. A two-fer!
FFS!
Its NYC.
Just eat the Cat sized Free Range, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Ethically Harvested RATS.
Chocolate covered Cockroaches for desert.
It’s been failing in Pittsburgh for YEARS! 🙄
Might as well let in fail in New Yawk as well!
It’s easy to feed a city of 13 million when 12,999,999 are dead.
I met an attorney who specialized in big dollar bankruptcy cases. We had an interesting conversation regarding doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs being attracted to tawdry blonds who convince them to go into breeding thoroughbred horses. The latest iteration of this idiocy is owning and operating a vineyard or organic farm/ranch.
All of these endeavors are very specialized and require a lot of knowledge. How in the hell anyone could get the notion that a complete and total dumb ass that is too stupid to keep a hamster or philodendron alive for six months is ever going to have success in that arena is beyond me.
The kind of food New Yorker’s like to eat can’t be grown there. Beef, pork, chicken, wheat for pizza, pasta and bagels, potatoes for French Fries, etc. Maybe tomatoes and peppers could be grown for sauce. Greens? Possible and not hard hydroponically, but I don’t think New Yorker’s like much salad.
They should do this in San Francisco. Think about it if they put a corn seed in every pile of shit on the side walks in a year the city would have more corn then the entire state of Iowa!
Finding city-dwellers interested in growing food is laughable. Like everything else the communists & Marxists touch it will be a monumental failure… at our (taxpayer) expense.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE
Free State of Jefferson
for those that can escape city life, this sign should be plastered on every major roadway

It’s sad. Outside of the city there are actual apple orchards and the like and the countryside is beautiful. NYC and Albany, and the morons who vote for it/in it, ruined the whole state.
But Mayor Bill de Blasio had already created an Office of Urban Agriculture and the New York City Council, which is so crazy that it makes De Blasio look sane“
Not insane. Create a new department, office, committee, and wow, more money needed for laundering!! That’s one method of how they do it. Remember the worthless title Liz Warren created and held power over for NOTHING! Created to rob America.
Why would city people grow food when they know the real stuff comes from the supermarket?
Is that a picture of him eating a sausage or sucking on a dick. What kind of idiot gets a dumbass photo taken of himself like that?
@seaoh
That is hilarious!
I have it on good authority they WILL grow Yucca and not that rassiss Cauliflower.
@seaoh,
corn in pooh! What a concept!
But what will all the illegals pick if they grow their own veggies.

They still have their nose!
URBAN AGRICULTURE
The latest new diet fad.
Charge ’em by the pounds lost.
