Not surprised - he is and always has been an incompetent hack.
That's what elections are for - we vote for people to make and enact policies, we shouldn't need to get "involved" beyond that to help counterbalance the miniscule number of people who make it onto a Community Board.
Building new homes, businesses, and infrastructure to accommodate more people is a good thing. If having to look at new people and new things upsets you, that’s entirely on you.
Putting a bunch of people on the fringes of the city, where there’s limited mass transit, rather than Manhattan and the inner parts of Brooklyn and Queens, seems like a colossal mistake.
As an educational thing it's fine, but there's no shortage of arable land in this country that we need to produce food within cities themselves, and urban agriculture is, for now, far less of a priority than jobs, housing, healthcare, or any number of other initiatives. The money and time/energy spent on this could be far better used doing something else.
