The city is providing the water for free. The neighbors are responding very favorably.

I'm not sure how my Columbia Heights townhouse yard compares to the setting described here, but I am very curious to see if they will come to fruition before someone messes with them or steals the tomatoes.

Somewhere I saw some guerrilla gardening group promoting some sort of garden grenades- they were small bags (of some sort of biodegradable fiber) stuffed with compost and wild flower seeds. The idea was that you could just throw them at your targeted areas as you drove by. The impact would make the seeds spread or something. I don’t think it could hurt!
