The thing I worry about with this is how it might displace poor people if the property values go up. And there's a lot of other implications that go along with property value increasing that people don't think about
Guerrilla Gardening is totally for poor people and people living in high density housing. No matter where people live or what their economic status is they deserve to live in beautiful places and be able to grow their own food. I believe that people should put pressure on their cities to spend some of the landscape budget on incorporating edible plants, creating community gardens and maybe (gasp!) making a bylaw that new developments must have community gardens incorporated into them. I know it's a revolutionary thought but if the government won't do it then I believe that the people need to take it into their own hands.
@@brendadyck3784 The point I'm trying to make, in the process of creating community gardens it has a ripple effect that leads to gentrification. Portland OR is a good example of where people changed their neighborhoods for the better, but in the process, it displaced poor people, and more specifically POC. If the economic needs of the people living in these places aren't addressed, then all that comes out of it is a safe haven for middle class people, and most often white, middle class people. And all the efforts to help poor people go out the door.
Food for thought...you make some good points.
But if done right like The Ron Finley Project I think that it could only benefit people.
My city (in Canada) actually has one community garden in the center of town that is run by a local non-profit that costs $0 and it is only for low income people. The plants and seeds are donated and the gardeners get them free of charge.
There is gentrification happening in my city so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
@@brendadyck3784 It's a pitfall to avoid for sure, doing right by the people there and not causing the very thing you're trying to prevent.
And.. what's incredibly sad is that for a channel of 32M subscribers, just 3000 watched this video. Of those who watched, how many acted? It's pretty sobering.
