Oregon [usa] has been shutting down small farms and market gardens in a pretty aggressive manner. They're even resorting to sending out cease and desist letters to these farms, using satellite tech to track them down first. Their justification? Water conservation and protecting groundwater. They're wielding two laws in particular to make this happen.

Benefits of having a Rooftop Gardens
Growing your own garden is a great way to save money on fresh produce.
Gardening is a great way to lower your stress levels naturally while spending time in nature and getting some fresh air, which can improve your health and well-being.
Rooftop gardens can help to absorb noise, resulting in a quieter building so you hear less of the noise and traffic from outside.
More plants and trees can improve air quality, which is especially important in urban settings.
Growing an urban garden is a wonderful hobby and a great way to teach your kids about plant life and healthy eating.

The most well known of San Francisco's numerous pedestrian streets is that section of Filbert Street between Montgomery and Battery streets on the steep eastern slope of Telegraph Hill - the Filbert Steps. This pastoral enclave, which includes the cross streets Darrell Place and Napier Lane and the nearby Greenwich Steps, is dotted with cottages that are testament to the bittersweet challenge of cottage living.
