Who cares? If I wanted to read about SF I'd read SFist. Gothamist is beginning to lose it's focus. It seems that nearly half the posts have nothing to do with NYC lately.

Actually, no authorities bothered the squat at all. It went on for 4 or 5 hours.

I can see NYPD claiming that this was protesting without a permit.

It happened in NYC- Transportation ALternatives held a Parking Spot Squat on Bedford Avenue. http://www.transalt.org/e-bulletin/2005/Nov/bedford_photoessay.html

What a brilliant, creative protest against the monopolization of urban space by the automobile. Too bad that in NYC, it would last about six minutes before the NYPD Critical Mass Beatdown Squad got together to haul them off. Cause if you don't have four wheels and belch exhaust, you don't belong on the street...
