Interesting post on Occupy Wall Street and the management of public space:

“Further, the City through zoning regulations, building codes, tax and subsidy policies, anti-discrimination laws, environmental controls, infrastructure provision, transportation policies, and the exercise of other normal governmental functions, has substantial control not only over publicly-owned space but also over privately-owned space. … Spaces for public uses may be publicly owned, or privately owned and subject to public influence and regulation; it is the use, not the bare ownership, which is the issue. A Public Spaces Plan concerned with the spatial requirements for the exercise of democratic functions should deal with both.”

Wow! I didn’t know things like this were going on. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be monitored by cameras in public property. That sounds really scary to me, actually.
