Happy to see the gardening sub pop up, and want to facilitate some discussion. So ask me anything you're curious about. I might not know the answer outright, but can help troubleshoot stuff too.

    Thanks for your comment. Regarding your point about productivity: One one hand I agree completely, they're essentially colonizing the park in the name of decolonization - but on the other hand I really think it allows people partaking in the project to materially reaffirm their own agency as a historical actor, as someone who can effect lasting material change in their environment. But maybe they should rather be torching a cop car to get that? Not sure.

      I understand what they wanted to do I guess. Food security is a major problem. But the resources they have at hand really aren't conducive to achieving anything meaningful in that regard. Parks have utility though. They could have done things to make it a more meaningful communal space too. But whatever. The CHAZ had my support. A poorly implemented garden wouldn't change that.
