Uncertainty in sea level rise predictions matter. This is Arverne, Queens in NYC w/ 21" or 30" higher water. Both could happen by 2050 (75th or 90th percentile scenarios). Those 9 inches make a huge difference for this neighborhood.

@iragersh @NYCWater @nyc_h2o You’re right!

Oh and there's a local law that requires the City to maintain a list of all city-owned sites that are available and potentially suitable for urban agriculture

There are only 29 sites on the list.

TIL NYC zoning allows commercial farming everywhere in the city except C7 district, which are specifically for large open amusement parks like Coney Island.
