Far from creating “semi dead spots” urban farms here create green spots (oasis) wonderful sanctuaries in the middle of the urban jungle that allow people to slow down and connect with nature and have a hand in growing their food.
I would disagree that they belong in the burbs.

They are active, for the few people farming but for everyone else, it's just a green patch. Listen, I don't hate them. Maybe for a place like Sacramento it's a nice fit. But I don't think they should be anywhere near centers of our largest cities. That land can be used for housing.
