    I think some gardens are used a lot by the community and others are just used by a few people. The issue here is that the city needs more housing. We have a housing crisis and gardens sit on land that could otherwise house families and people in need. This is a real problem that we have to address and compromise on. There is no good easy answer. Lets not forget that NY is a city meant to house people - and we do have one of the largest parks - Central Park. I think with some of our small gardens we have to think outside the box and consider if housing for people in need is more important than the current use.

      Central Park is your answer? EV Gardens are what this part of town has going for it - especially now that East River Park has been destroyed by the likes of people with "reasoning" like yours!

      The city is known for tearing down community garden and then replaces it with rich housing for the privilege

    There are more than 21,000 vacant apartments in NYC. They are allowed to be warehoused by a city in the palms of realtors hands. There is no reason to destroy open, public spaces to build the dirty joke "affordable housing" that only the wealthy can afford.
