Very interesting and inspiring history. Thank you for providing these examples of how societies and communities can work incorporating both idealism and practicality
Thanks for sharing that. It makes me curious to know what other cities tried to cooperate with Occupy encampments, and wonder to what extent and why....?
Me, too. I don't know why Iowa City was friendlier than most, but I think teh city council found no reason to distrust the group, and some I think liked the idea.

That's awesome. I don't think I heard about that at all. All the stories were about how hostile the local governments were towards the occupations.
It kind of fit with the city's reputation.
