Imagine this as a timeline: the foreground (bottom) is the present and the background (top) is the future. The sketch represents Savannah’s many empty and abandoned lots of land that now exist in squalor and disrepair. If the city government were to take their “Healthy Savannah” and community garden initiatives seriously, this would be the appropriate plan of action for many of Savannah’s neighborhoods. Plots left in disrepair or left over from unpaid taxes could be reclaimed by the city (not in the form of imminent domain) and transformed into viable neighborhood centers that invoke community contribution, a sense of belonging and pride.
