    “Hm yes if we inefficiently use all this space then we can destroy all this perfectly good agricultural land and make space for more cars!”

      What’s inefficient about vertical farming? There’s plenty of green area even in the Picture that’s posted, could easily put a bike and pedestrian network through there. If it was needed.

      There’s always solutions, but it’s also just easier to bitch and moan instead.

        Cost. It’s a lot more expensive to build vertical. Additionally you need lighting that would wouldn’t need otherwise.

          The capacity more than makes up for it. You could also grow in cold climates where you can’t normally as well.

          The benefits are there.

            No, it’s just like solar. You need existing infrastructure to make it worthwhile, e.g. the top, sides, or inside of an apartment building . Otherwise there would be vertical farms everywhere. America is entrepreneur/Venture capital heavy. If it penciled out properly, people would be doing it.
