Times are rapidly changing. What you're saying may have been true in the past, but people are increasingly wanting to eat local, organic, fresh, and healthy food. My initial response to the illustration was one of glee. It would be a major selling point for me. Granted, I could never afford such a place, but I'd be all over it if it were available. And it's not like they're offering a planter box to every unit, so they only need a handful of residents who are avid gardeners in order to make it work.
I know nothing about the quality of the renderings and how that correlates to the likelihood of any of this ever happening, but I can assure you that there is a segment of the population that wants the best of both worlds and is willing to pay for it.
