Interesting! That's a neat example of how something like this could be hammered out in real life. I realize I'm simplifying it in this post, which is about how we think about these parking lots. But also interested in what it looks like from a policy/implementation angle!

Indeed, non-profits are not simple however and "hammered out" is apt. I've been lucky enough to know several savvy folks who have done good civic work through non-profits. I often seek their advice. (I've also been unlucky enough to know several others who should have gone to therapy instead of our board meetings!)
The "Pop-Up" approach to public spaces will only gain momentum in the aftermath of Lockdown. Commercial shipping containers can be repurposed to house chairs, tables, awnings, tents, bars and other bits of instant-event infrastructure. Parking lots are ideal for this kind of use.

If something comes of this, I'll keep you posted.
