I predicted this years ago. Land is cheaper than structures. Light is a limit to plant growth and angles don't work better for vertical and even if it is you shade something else.

it might work for expensive fresh produce if you can reduce harvest to table time to hours but that only applies to a few foods that greenhouses already grow
