I think it's a great idea, but I also have qualms about other people reaping the benefits. To me, someone else picking and taking/eating something I work hard to grow is not only trespassing, it's theft.
I don't think I'll ever live in suburbia, so I don't think this is a problem for me. I intend to have horse pastures and hayfields in addition to a garden. No manicured lawn for me, except for cutting grass in a small orchard and the fenced yard where a dog would run and bushhogging pastures.
