Park(ing)
plankton here, jackin' electro's blog account again
This creative group of people took the initiative to make San Francisco more green and improve the quality of urban habitats - at least temporary. "Park(ing)" a park in a metered parking spot made it possible for people to rest on the bench, relax on the grass, or just do nothing until the meter ran out.
70% of San Francisco's downtown outdoor space is dedicated to private vehicle, while only a fraction is allocated to the public realm.
Watch the trailer on their website to see the park unfold.

I bet that if you're looking for a parking space in San Francisco, that temporary park is really, really annoying.
Interesting statistic about how much outdoor space is reserved for vehicles. I wonder what percentage of people in the city drive vs. those who walk or take mass transit.
