Over 100 trees of apple, peach and pear. All free for taking. They have pole fruit pickers to use. Tree with green ribbons are ready to harvest. Apples will be in next month. Volunteers maintain trees, no insecticides, they use beetle lures and traps. Fertilized with invasive asian carp harvested in the Mississippi and dried and ground in fertilizer(or maybe ground and dried?). If you have only eaten fruit harvested a thousand miles away green and then shipped, you will be amazed what organic local tree ripened fruit is like.

Always?

If you lived in Times Beach do you think a personal garden produced food superior to other sources?

Okay, obviously barring any significant environmental or ecological disasters on or around your land.

Looking silly because you made a broad claim that’s absolutely not true and that’s your knee jerk reaction to being called out is also true.

For example, the city has definitely done a poor job of encouraging development on the east side - but I've also seen when they do spend money, they're accused of trying to gentrify an area.

Beacon Hill, much? I consider that a success for market rate housing in the urban core. It was very controversial when it started with those renovated houses.
