Showerthought: I just learned that over 50% of community garden plots get abandoned by mid-summer

I was reading a report from the local parks department here in Austin and found out that more than half of the plots in our city's community gardens are left unused by August. People sign up in spring, plant a few things, then stop showing up when it gets hot or the weeds get bad. I was honestly shocked because I always thought those waitlists meant everyone was super dedicated. Has anyone else seen this happen in their town's gardens?
