Hantz Farms (the world’s largest urban farm right "coming" to Detroit

What do you guys think of something like this?? Personally I think its great. Fuck an auto company. Still not sure when this place is supposed to start making things happen but it for me it sounds too good to be true. We will see. Heres an "introduction" they have on their website......
Introducing Hantz Farms™
It’s our dream to rejuvenate our city by returning to our agrarian roots, by creating the world’s largest urban farm right here in Detroit, a sustainable producer and seller of homegrown fruits and vegetables as well as clean energy. Owned, operated and staffed by Detroiters, Hantz Farms will provide:
Hundreds of “green” jobs for local residents, with on-the-job education. We’ll help Detroit progress to the mixed economy that’s so important for our future.
A generous supply of fresh, local, safe produce for our families and the region. Hantz Farms will be a year-round operation, providing spring vegetables, a bounty of summer produce, pick-your-own pumpkins and Christmas trees. Not only will we grow for Detroit, but we’ll also be able to export our produce. A cleaner, greener environment for our children. We’ll clear away the garbage, the blight, the debris, and in their place grow healthful crops and produce non-polluting wind energy. In every aspect of Hantz Farms, we plan to use only recyclable materials and aim to reduce waste to nearly zero. We’ll also reintroduce Detroiters to the beauty of nature.
Synergy for local businesses. Tourists coming in to Detroit to visit Hantz Farms—not just for an annual event, but on a daily basis—will patronize other businesses as well.
Consolidation of city resources. Detroit’s fire, police and public works departments can better serve city residents when freed from the burden of nearly abandoned neighborhoods.

I doubt green jobs are going to prevent the locals from killing each other and shooting dope all the while leeching off of the system.

It will bring in people that do not participate in such things. This should be nothing but good for the city.

People aren't going to work if they think they are going to get shot. I think that company needs to hire a couple of PMC's before they start investing in Detroit.

For one this farm area will not be in any of the location above. Two, is that I have never once had any problems with anyone in Detroit anywhere. There are obviously places literally no one has business being in. But the holds true for most major cities in this country. If you go around acting a fool you will get treated as such.

Thats pretty cool.
Always good to see good coming from Detroit, it has so much potential.
Filled with great artist and musicians but less douche y then most cities.
Oh I miss going to the Magik styk and harpo's . Some of the best shows ive been to have been in Detroit. Great venues and so much cheaper then most cities.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Yeah I really hope they get the ball rolling asap on this. I still cannot find out when exactly they are supposed to start. They may have already.
