Lecture 6 tuesday, february 2, 2016: whose community is it anyway? communities as contested spaces continuation. Tactical use of space to tactically use them. Civility laws: intersection of marginal and prime: are social services and street people are going.

Displace to decrease visibility: but look at this as something we need to control, and contain, if we can contain them in one part of the city, then it will be safer. Instructive function: tell society what to feel and what to think about certain groups, these laws resemble a set of instructions for all of us of how to avoid and eliminate street people, people represent a threat. Solicitation (request, in person, immediate provision of money or another thing of value) in an aggressive manner (likely to cause a reasonable person to be concern for her/his safety) prohibited.
