Yup, as part of affordable housing initiatives. In order to get the AH stipend you MUST join and participate in the farming community. This supposedly is going to cure "food deserts".
How much land this requires per family, (has to be within the city limits) where they are going to get the experience/equipment/supplies or what happens when you DON'T farm the land is not mentioned. Speculation is Austin is going to drop around 100 million to get this up and running. No word on continuing costs. Agrihood. |

  They should be required to subsist entirely off their agricultural efforts. |

Excellent! I look forward to seeing the bountiful harvests of Glorious Worker's Food Collective #1.
I assume they're setting up a series of 5-year plans, and will invade Caldwell County by parachute if there's several bad harvests in a row. |

Slavery on the Welfare Plantation, it's the Democrat way. That's what the Democrat's Great Society was all about, minus the silly garden thing.
People of Color will populate the Welfare Plantation and will be bussed into Austin to riot on command. They will obey their Democrat masters because the pimp hand has no mercy. |

Every commie thinks that comes the revolution, they'll become a state-funded poet or a professor of equality studies. None of them think they're going to spend the rest of their days toiling away in the Glorious People's Coal Mine #17 and eating half-rotten potatoes for dinner. |

Playing around with the numbers here, if you figure you need an acre to feed a family for a year, that's going to require a hell of a lot of VERY expensive real estate inside the city limits. Hundreds of acres when you take into account crop rotations. (not considering livestock, I can just see what a disaster say, a dairy operation would be)
A look at Zillow shows a regular house lot in the area is 140K. Now, I don't think they are going to find that big a property unless they go the Eminent Domain route and steal it. |

But if you can subsist on mostly chicken, eggs, and veggies, you can make a hella lot of food down in Texas on even half an acre, the growing season is just sooo long, I used to start planting the cold-tolerant stuff in the last week of January. And in November I was still harvesting tomatoes right up until the first freeze. |
