Urban gardening on a large scale will need community pressure on gov. and landlords. In San Diego water availability/usage is a concern.
On an encouraging note, our local elementary has over the last 5-10 years developed a small but inviting urban food forest. Not sure the design was intentional or evolutionary, but the vegetable and fruit garden is now a somewhat messy but cooling environment adjacent to the traditional asphalt parking lot.
