There are people being fined for gardening in their front yard.
Change the elitist rules on maintaining said patch of grass, and you’ll get more urban gardening.

Many of those HOAs fine for growing vegetables in the front yards but not for fruit. They're too ignorant to know that many of what they're calling vegetables are in fact fruit. It'd be great if a front yard gardener would sue them for this. That would put a stop to some of that foolishness.

in low-income neighborhoods where grocery stores are scarce, it can be a vital source of healthy food.

Oh, puleeze! The author doesn't expect the welfare crowd to work?!? That's a four letter word.
