In San Francisco, the REBAR group organized a mass reclamation of automobile parking spaces to provide temporary green space for pedestrians to enjoy.
Over two-dozen parking spots were liberated. Some were transformed into lush, green creations complete with sod, trees and benches. Other organizations experimented with the idea, creating eclectic installations like artwork, benches and gardens One such space even features a self-serve lemonade stand!
The event also included participation from groups outside San Francisco, including some from New York City.

Watch out for motoring clubs, auto clubs, merchant associations, pro-business and developer lobbyists, and other “new democrat” types on planning commissions and city councils around the county trying to legislate this healthful reclamation of public space out-of-existence with muni. ordinances and fines Keep your eyes on planning commission agendas as these ‘Park-Ins’ will be packaged into legislation with class warfare on the poor such as the “Public Commons for Everyone” Bill they passed Berkeley, CA! Of all places! That criminalizes sitting and laying in a public place for an extended period of time. It’s repressive social legislation on behavior in public places!
