“For Greg Willerer, Detroit’s new urban frontier is a lot like the Wild West: ‘For all intents and purposes, there is no government here,’ said Willerer, 43, checking the greens and other crops he is growing on an acre off Rosa Parks Boulevard, across from an abandoned house with broken windows. ‘If something were to happen we have to handle that ourselves.’  In New York, the city has invested $600,000 in expanding Brooklyn Grange, a rooftop farming business that’s planning to open a business incubator. Seattle is breaking ground on a ‘food forest,’ planting seven acres of fresh produce open to the public.”
