Brooklyn Top Farming Borough
Today’s news that Brooklyn has more farms than any other borough should come as no surprise at all. Nor should the fact that the topic provides yet another opportunity to flog the old theme that newer, wealthier residents somehow aren’t as “real” has longer-term, poorer residents. “We aren’t here for the trendy residents,” Kendall Morrison,…
Today’s news that Brooklyn has more farms than any other borough should come as no surprise at all. Nor should the fact that the topic provides yet another opportunity to flog the old theme that newer, wealthier residents somehow aren’t as “real” has longer-term, poorer residents. “We aren’t here for the trendy residents,” Kendall Morrison, who manages The Secret Garden Farm in Bushwick. “We’re here for the neighborhood folks.” Better take out that nose ring before you try to buy your kale from Kendall!
Brooklyn Has More Farms Than Other Boros [NY Daily News]
Lechecal…Ok, whatever. You don’t like urban “farms” for some autobiographical reason. That’s all cleared up.
However, “you” in my original post was not directed at anyone in particular. It was directed at pretty much the entire direction these comments go in.
As usual, the obvious questions is: “If you feel that the commenters are just ranting about their personal obsessions, why are you wasting your time in the comments? Because clearly that’s what the commenters want to be doing, and you are in the way.”
I really don’t have a good answer to that. So I’m getting back to work here.
fuplease: I challenge your premise that a well adjusted person with a satisfying, well rounded life should be forced to suffer fools silently.
Lechecal: a well adjusted person with a satisfying, well rounded life, would read your comments and believe you are a pathetic, frustrated loser.
That was less than 25 words. Variations of under 5 words, and 25-50 words, with varying degrees of civility, are also available on demand.
I don’t care if you ride your bikes in the bike lanes.
Just…
1. Stay in the lane
2. Go in the direction of traffic for the street
3. Stop at stop signs and red lights.
Otherwise you’re just a douchebag and deserve what traffic mishap may come your way.

“Oh yeah, and riding our bikes in the bike lanes”
You’re doing it wrong. Try again.
And you’re turning into an opportunity to rant about your personal hatreds of gentrification, new people, hypocrisy, idealists, the man, farmer’s market and the people who shop there, and (unbelievably) kids’ lemonade stands.
You’re starting to understand, fuplease.
Oh yeah, and riding our bikes in the bike lanes.
