¶((( how I crashed jvea / Alan invites )))
but yesterday I started reading 🔗hacking-housing to Alan, after first sentence
"we don't know the building codes/laws so we can't hack them"
he says:
"so go and read them!"
not good enough!
lack of platforms
lack of systems
and generally
lack of adequate/appropriate technology ground-up technology for ground-up politics
how would one find "SQEK"?
g: "squatting research" ??
should we be forced to pay SEO keywords?
discoverability!

BUT ANYWAY,

¶ 2) vs "exodus" / "back to the land"
b.fuller, technology, "world systems", hippies, etc
i'm the ghost rider for #2
-------------------------------
I WILL ARGUE

¶WE NEED MORE SYSTEMATICS, "OFF THE SHELF" NON-MAINSTREAM LIFESTYLE SOLUTIONS
Conditions for #1 are not there
but also conditions for #2 are not there (RIP hippies 1972)
OF COURSE AT THE END, QUESTION IS ALWAYS,
WHAT IS THE POINT?
#1 is TOO VOLATILE
I seriously pose the question whether these spaces
aren't just about PURE SURVIVAL?
and not even that
because with
a clear trend of NEOLIBERAL successes (healthcare systems dissasembly, etc)
ANTHROPOCENE / ecocide
with AUTONOMISED WEAPONISED AGENTS
i believe enabling some unconsequential "creativity" (as per the colleagues before) just doesn't cut it
loosing energy
"negotiation" and "right to the city"
eh
you get a space
they even pay for the floor
but then you can't smoke inside anymore
you get co-opted
If you'll say these spaces are "adequate", then it's possibly either
* not appearant or not showing itself
* not replicable
at best
delimited "islands of freedom" via participation in reproduction of our current society
or again
(looking at political trends), not even that
looking fwd to read the book
ofc,
as i understand it's an anthology
we are kind of documenting these pieces
and we need a systemic approach, "A NEW DEFAULT"
buillt on top of this, maybe "DESIGN PATTERNS"
because
you find yourself in society
"right to city" does not scale

END ON POSITIVE NOTE #1
¶"I'd like to end on a positive note"
MADRID + BARCELONA HAVE NEW COOL MAYORS
so maybe "right to city" has a chance?
On the other hand
in the major league
the recent outcome of SYRIZA and Greece as a "protectorate"
"the right to a country"
i think we need new strategies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
OK RETRY POSITIVE NOTE

¶CAN THERE BE A NEW LOGIC OF CITIES?
formation mechanism not only "criticaly"
of non-replicable "take a chance on a situation"
but
constructively of a possibility for NEW URBANISM
beyond "oh nice new space
alter lifetsyles should be like pot smoking
"legal compatible" but also "doesn't need to be"

¶THE TOTALISM DESIGN IS TO OFFER AN ENTRY TICKET TO THE UTOPIA FOR 1000€:
we might be wrong but for how much?
can you engineer a new type of city?
and what follows when this has a proof (as being)?
