The cleanup cost from the fruit is what’s prohibitive about that, leaving the fruit isn’t an option since it makes the sidewalks unusable from the mess, it rots and creates mold spores, pests, rodents, etc, they all thrive.

Theres a very good argument to why they shouldn’t introduce females everywhere.

Also, letting the homeless and working class forage for the fruit would be way too egalitarian and compassionate. Totally unacceptable!

  Ideally the homeless wouldn’t exist in this scenario, and sure, the public can grab the bottom 8’? The public really can’t be trusted to safely use ladders, so that options right out.
  
  I’m all for it, but realistically it’s not a feasible solution? It’s to costly, wheter it be to collect it and give to public safely, or to provide ladders and medical care for the people who inevitably fall.

    My area has en entire non-profit org devoted to urban foraging, so maybe my perspective on its feasibility is a little different.

    … a non profit relies on donations… so it’s either paid through taxes like I mentioned, or through money in the end anyways…?
    
    Sure I guess that works?

  Free food that drops out of the trees? Get the fuck outta here.

  I don’t think we are talking about actually edible fruits but I’m not sure
