"New Normal" - Foraging for Fruit in Vacant Homes

At Vacant Homes, Foraging for Fruit - NYTimes.com

People go into the yards of vacant homes, such as foreclosures, and harvest fruit they find, then eat it or give it to food banks. As one harvester said,

“I don’t think of it as stealing.  These things were planted by a person who was going to harvest them. That person no longer has the ability to. It’s not like the bank people who sit in their offices are going to come out here and pick figs.”
