Right, let's turn some of Oakland's last natural open space in the South Hills into farm land. Get outa here. Take this acreage away and you've got a few hundred vacant lot plots going. That works for me, but leave Knowland Park and surrounding areas unmolested.

read the report and didn't find it quite as rosy as the article summarized it. especially since a significant portion of the city owned land is located in the hills. but of greater concern was water cost and availability. maybe i missed it, but seems like the only mention of that was mapping the location of ebmud meters. does ebmud give much lower rates to urban farms over a certain size or to govt users?
