it costs money to take care of trees like that. There's a lot of work you need to do to make sure the fruit comes out the correct way.
95% of the cost is just time, which I am willing to donate for a better society.
How about we just tax every billionaire by 2% of each of their total income, capital gains included and use that money on food banks and to give every law abiding homeless person a home?
Instead of weak half-measures like throwing free food out into the streets
The trees aren't meant to solve homelessness or poverty. They also do more than just feed people. As a whole I think its worth it, and we can also tax the rich to pay for social welfare at the same time.
That's the neat part: community tree is taken care by the community.
