Occupy!

Fascinated by the negotiation of public space.

Great article on the 1 problem – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-van-zandt/democracy-in-america_b_1139463.html?ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false

Also I’m somewhat happy to see the tent-cities go – this can’t become just about the ability to occupy public space – it has to be more than a debate about land-use.

Devotion of resources – $1M+ in police overtime and $40-60k of park “damage” – this is investment the city made – why can’t we occupy hot spots in dorchester and force the cops to hang out there and effectuate their strategy of “trust building“?
