Can people donate these or is it against ows laws?
If 100 million people gathered to that park, could we have then acceptance to do something to park what we want it to be?
It would certainly bring in the city housing inspectors, probably violate vagrancy laws, private property easements, and a guaranteed visit from the FDNY Fire Marshall.
Would it be acceptable if there was 100,000 people to do it? Or is 1 million needed or 10 million people?
Isn't that problematic as it is essentially taking hold of a park that should be public, i.e. for everyone to use? Isn't this anti-democratic since the city's citizens have not been consulted on whether or not they want to provide the park they are paying for with the taxes so it can become your land?
I have been thinking sometimes why nothing happening even if there is lots of people allready there to "start construction". I am thinking how they survive from winter. What if donations will stop, how they get food and water then example.
I have been thinking from the beginning that they would build something self-sustaining things around there but nothing that kind have been done there. Numbers growing but no self-sustainity yet going on.
Why don't they use their own houses, then come back and protest during the day?
Its better they stay in one place so whole protest stays organized someway. Some people go there and then leave their own houses, as you see from livestream later day there is more less people but some people are really "real homeless people" so they seek staying from park.
But as their numbers grow and some people become homeless too because they lose their jobs and they don't know what to do, they will be going to this park staying with other people. It just that they need to start create self-sustainity things to survive because numbers growing everyday.
