Default Rebuild or remove: A strategic long term question.

So with my campaign in Manhattan, my group is in debate.

With much of Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens/Bronx and even New Jersey being SO heavily "urbanized", the group is having debates about how/where to get land for farming.

Cemeteries have come up...

Additional parks from other boroughs have come up...

Alternative locations such as rooftops, window planters and such have been discussed...

What they are debating now is this: Since the population around NYC is less then half of what it once was, wouldnt the land be better used to feed to the current residents rather then have block upon block of unused, deserted buildings?

By concentrating the population you can provide better security, more basic resources such as heat/electric/clean water and easier organization on many levels. Seeing as the entire NYC "published" population could fit on 1/3 of the island of Manhattan now, why not tear down everything else for farmland?

And for god sakes, does anyone have any numbers/information they can link me for cement production in a T2K environment?
