  lets be real

  i got it, 350 families have come to depend on these plots for some level of their sustinance. An incenerator seems like a stupid idea, and I don't have any data to support my oppnion. Having said that -- there are millions of people in LA that have paid tax money to improve infrastructure of the city -part of which seems to have gone to have this land be some vital part of the planning.

  I am for culture. I am for the poor having a fair shake -- and in this case, it seems that the fair thing for most of the people of LA would be to find the urban farmers a new area to farm.On Could the battle for South Central Farm be coming to a close? posted 3 years, 5 months ago 8 Responses
