A commons for the public

Clinton Community Garden in NYC

The Guardian ran a great op-ed on how communities sometimes run public parks better than their elected officials would choose to run them. (I have to admit, this article was almost too Brit-witty for me - I had to read it at home away from the office scan-reading I do, to grasp the slight sarcasm and full meaning.) Great article! See - public spaces are owned by someone - the public!
