	<description><![CDATA[So much heavy lifting performed by this piece: making informality visible in the manically formal context of North America, displacing teleological presumptions, carving out legitimate space for use value in the absence of exchange value, to name but a few.<br />
<br />
On this last point, the late Neil Smith called it "socially determined" â in contrast to capitalist determined â geographies. He might point out that the history of such unreal value creation is that it can lead to being monetized into real value captured by outside agents (Soho). The question remains (wherever informality thrives), how to sustain local agency? This takes us back to right to the city strategies.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Riet, I thank you for the clarification--I appreciate it. I used the word "consortium" in the sense of a project undertaken collectively--i.e. like yours, an initiative of neighbors and residents. I apologize if the word strikes you as wrong; I esteem your project and have tried to characterize it appropriately.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I don't know where you got your information about the Brightmoor Farmway (none of us ever remember being asked) but it is not entirely correct.  The Farmway is an initiative by the neighbors of the 21 block target area of Neighbors Building Brightmoor.  It is a playful, unofficial name that we as neighbors gave to our area.  The 50 some gardens, farms and pocket parks are all initiated and operated by residents, neighbors.  There are no consortiums involved.  NBB is a neighbors driven and run neighborhood organization without any paid personell or significant funding. Check out our facebook page.]]></description>
