If someone started a project to plant seeds in those areas, I’d be all for it, but this means that seeds might end up in unwanted spaces where someone will just kill the plants anyway, and most people probably won’t buy the seed balls who live near urban blight.

It might improve the look of the urban landscape, but you’re seriously diluted if you think this helps mother nature in any way. In fact, these things undoubtedly create carbon emissions in their creation and distribution. By all accounts, they are probably carbon *positive*.

As someone who lives next to a house with trees growing out the windows – and it’s a rowhouse so it directly affects the structural integrity of my house – and who already struggles to keep her yard within the requirements proscribed by city law due to “wild flowers” (e.g. no weeds higher than 8 inches), the idea makes me shudder.
