We lived in a blighted area with many abandoned buildings so for years there were only 2 families on our side of the street. I took care of the dirt squares by the curb, put in a flower garden for an elderly neighbor in her landlords yard (he did catch me but didn't care). Now most of the houses on our block are lived in so I only take care of 2 spots. I never thought about taking over backyards till I meet someone who had vegatable garden plots in the backyards of 2 abandoned home. I'm going to do that next spring!!! Nice way to raise more veggiesfor the family! BTW, I did get a certificate of accomidation from the Mayor for "Neighborhood Beautification!"
