There is a large "urban farming" movement in the Austin area, including

look like a funky chicken coop, although that is the actual name of
their annual tour:

Different locale, different perspectives I guess. A couple of months
back there was a drive by a group wanting legalize chicken raising in

"Let them grow tomatoes.", eh?

The pious and unmitigated arrogance manifested in the quotes from those

The folks in Austin are largely progressives, but apparently with a lot
less tolerance to allowing busybodies to rule their lives.

Thought I would never say this, but you just made me a lot prouder of
our touchy, feely progressives here in Texas ... bless their little pea
picking liberal hearts.
