Good luck if you live in an HOA

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.

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!

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.

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.
