If they were in the cities, they probably wouldn't even be much in the way of farms, would they?
There's only so much an indoor or rooftop garden can produce, and I highly doubt it's going to make people anything resembling a decent living, except maybe if they manage to jack up the prices and people become willing to pay extra for something for the novelty of like, I dunno, a fully formed ear of corn grown in some guy's basement. Or if a major crop failure forces prices so high that it becomes a viable option, but, if the French Revolution is any indication, things are likely to get really politically unstable before we reach that point.
If you live in a metropolitan area how close is the nearest farm to you? Would you do a daily commute to it every day to do farm work for low pay?
