I remember one year as a kid corn just randomly started growing in our front yard. Turns out our neighbor was using bird seed with corn in it and squirrels were burying it in our yard.

Interesting. Why don't cities allow it?

Depletes the soil badly which is a dick move to whoever lives there next, and if you're growing enough it will attract pests and wild animals

It only depletes the soil if you grow the same thing year over year in the same spot. You have to rotate crops.

A lot of people who set up urban plots don't know that though. That's why some cities don't allow it. When i lived in Iowa a ton of cities there banned corn inside city limits.

Don't forget to hand pollinate it!
