"The tremendous and still accelerating developement of science and technology has not been accompanied by an equal developement in social, econimic, and political patterns... it is safe to predict that... such social inventions as modern-type capitalism, fascism, and communism will be regarded as primative experiments directed toward the adjustment of modern society to modern methods". - Dr. Ralph Linton

I wonder why the city did not hire workers who are unemployed. There are bound to be men or women who are unemployed and have some skill in Gardening. You could subsidise the work, and if the work is very good, you could keep them on call to do more landscaping.
